The Quiet Danger Every Leader Needs to Guard Against
Every time a public leader falls, it sends a ripple through the Church.
Not just because of the failure itself, but because it reminds us how easily drift can happen when no one is asking hard questions.
This week’s conversation is a sober but necessary one. It isn’t about shame or condemnation. It’s about wisdom. Awareness. And putting guardrails in place before something small becomes something devastating.
Recent news surrounding a well-known Christian leader has caused many of us to pause and reflect. Not with judgment, but with a deeper awareness of how vulnerable all of us are when isolation, secrecy, and exhaustion go unchecked.
As Scripture reminds us:
“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:12
What if the greatest threat to your ministry isn’t burnout, but isolation?
Watch this video for a thoughtful conversation on accountability, integrity, and the quiet choices that shape a leader’s future.
