When Church Leaders Tolerate Sin, Culture Follows | Ep.5

In this episode, we’re continuing our series The Rise of Exposure Ministry by looking at a sobering but necessary reality—the sins of leadership and how they shape the culture of the Church.When leaders fall, the impact doesn’t stay at the top. It flows down into the body, forming cultures of compromise, silence, and confusion. But in this hour, God is confronting these patterns—not to destroy His Church, but to cleanse and restore it.This episode is adapted from my latest Substack article.
