EP 127: When Heroes Fall: How to Heal When Christian Leaders Disappoint You Ft. Lisa Fields

What happens when a pastor, mentor, or Christian leader you admire falls, and your trust is shaken with them? This week on In Totality, I’m joined by Christian apologist, author, and founder of the Jude 3 Project, Lisa Fields. Tune in for a conversation about healing after the people we admire disappoint us, without losing our faith, ignoring the harm done, or abandoning accountability. Lisa opens up about the personal heartbreak behind her new book, When Heroes Fall: Healing from the Aftermath of Sin. Together, we talk about church hurt, broken trust, grief, and the difference between admiring someone and placing them where only God belongs. If you’re processing disappointment with a Christian leader, navigating spiritual disillusionment, or grieving the fall of someone who helped shape your faith, this episode is for you. My prayer is that this conversation gives you language for your grief, courage to examine your own heart, and hope to heal in godly community. People may fail us, but Jesus never will. With His help, the hurt we experienced does not have to become harm we pass on to others.
