S2 E121: Can We Stop Putting Christians On Pedestals?

Welcome to Unpolished but Called, where we have honest conversations about faith, real life, and what it looks like to follow Jesus when people let us down.In this episode, we're talking about something every Christian eventually faces:What happens when someone you admire disappoints you?Whether it's a pastor, worship leader, author, influencer, mentor, musician, or someone who helped shape your faith, disappointment can leave you feeling confused, hurt, and questioning everything you thought you knew.But what if the real issue isn't that people fail?What if the problem is that we sometimes place people in positions they were never meant to hold?In this conversation, we'll talk about Christian influencers, discernment, social media, spiritual authority, and why even good people can become unhealthy faith anchors when we elevate them beyond where they belong.People will disappoint us.Jesus won't.And sometimes spiritual maturity isn't about finding perfect Christians—it's about learning to keep your eyes on Christ when imperfect people let you down.🔗Linktree: https://linktr.ee/unpolishedbutcalled📧 Subscribe to the newsletter and receive the free devotional:kathrinshaffer.com🎙️ Listen to The Long Way Through Scripture Bible Study Podcast❤️ Support the podcast and ministry resources through the website.If you're enjoying these conversations, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future episodes.#ChristianPodcast #ChristianLiving #FaithJourney #Discipleship #Discernment #UnpolishedButCalled
