Why Do Pastors Screw Up?

from Maybe God Hosted by Eric Huffman

It's hard to miss the relentless stream of news reports of Christian pastors who've been caught lying, cheating on their wives, mishandling church funds, and in some cases sexually abusing women and children - and the ripple effect pastoral misconduct has had on so many people who've lost faith in the Church. What are the root causes of these pastoral failures? How should they be handled? And how can trust in the Church ever be restored? Eric Huffman talks to Julie Roys, the journalist who's been the first to report on many of the biggest church scandals, and Sonny and Shawn Hennessy, two megachurch pastors who found healing by owning up to their biggest mistakes and walking away from a thriving ministry.
