How can I trust a spiritual leader when they do sins just like I do?

If spiritual leaders struggle with sin too, why should anyone trust them?

This clip digs into one of the most uncomfortable questions in church culture: credibility. If pastors and spiritual leaders wrestle with the same flaws, habits, and failures as everyone else, what does leadership even mean? And where does trust actually come from?

The conversation pushes past the expectation of moral perfection and into discernment, accountability, and realistic faith. It challenges the idea that leadership requires sinlessness while also refusing to excuse hypocrisy or abuse of authority. This is about navigating faith without pretending leaders are superheroes.

Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman bring honesty, humor, and real-life perspective to a topic that Christians and skeptics both quietly wrestle with. It’s thoughtful, a little uncomfortable, and very grounded in everyday church experience.
