Christian Leaders Aren’t Falling Alone—W...

Moral Revolution
About this episode

What if moral failure isn’t just a personal weakness… but something we’ve helped create?


We’ve seen it too many times: another Christian leader falls. Another headline. Another apology video.


But what if the root problem isn’t just lust or lack of accountability… what if it’s the culture we’ve built?


In this episode, we sit down with Kris Vallotton — a leader who’s walked with pastors, pioneers, and fallen giants behind the scenes — to ask the hard questions:


• How do you actually prevent moral failure, not just respond to it?
• What are the warning signs no one talks about until it’s too late?
• What kind of church culture actually fosters purity and integrity?
• And when someone does fall… what does real restoration look like?


Whether you’re a young leader, a disillusioned churchgoer, or someone who’s been burned by moral failure up close, this conversation is raw, honest, and necessary.


This isn’t about blame. It’s about building a church culture where integrity can thrive before things fall apart.
