Church scandals don't just make headlines—they shape how entire generations view faith, leadership, and the Church itself.
Why do older and younger Christians often respond so differently when pastors fall? What does true accountability actually look like? And can the Church pursue both justice and restoration without sacrificing either?
In this episode, Lisa Fields sits down with Dr. Cynthia James for a thoughtful conversation on the growing trust gap between generations, the impact of pastoral failures, independent accountability, trauma-informed care, and why rebuilding credibility requires more than public apologies.
Whether you've wrestled with disappointment in church leadership, wondered how restoration should work, or simply want to better understand today's conversations around faith and integrity, this episode offers wisdom, nuance, and hope.
