FABcast #624 - A Grace Perspective On Matt Chandler's Failure

I got saved in 2013 when I heard pastor Matt Chandler say, "to be 99% known is NOT to be known....If I keep that 1% I actually prevent myself from being loved because I convince myself that 'you wouldn't love me if you knew this %1'" (paraphrase mine). Here he is nearly a decade later still being transparent and known. How amazing is this? It would have been so much easier to sweep this under the rug. In the military, we call what he did "fraternization" or being unduly familiar with someone. Marine Colonel would be guilty of frat if he or she was DMing a private. The Village church kept its protocol and decided to put Matt on a leave of absence. This was the right call. Painful, but right nonetheless.
