Her Theology Podcast

June 4, 2026
What should Christians do when a ministry leader falls into sin?
Following the recent news involving Sam Allberry, this episode explores leadership qualifications, repentance, restoration, cancel culture, and whether Christians should continue engaging with the past teaching of leaders who have been disqualified from ministry.
Cass also addresses a much bigger issue: pornography in the Church. If sexual immorality is disqualifying leaders, what are we doing to help the many Christians silently struggling with the same sins in the pews?
This conversation is about biblical accountability, grace, truth, repentance, and wisdom.
