Slandering the Saints

What do we do when Christian leaders fall, or even closer to home, when our Christian friends or family leave the faith? On this week’s episode of Unapologetic, Julia asks her dad, Dr. Robert Jeffress, these questions and more! Plus, the two also talk about Julia’s prodigal story—addressing the practical things we can do to come back to God ourselves or welcome others back into the church.

From the Hillsong exposè to the documentary on the Duggar family, stories of ministries falling from grace are undoubtedly popular right now. As Julia and Dr. Jeffress dive into how to respond when Christians fall and how to heal, they challenge listeners to check their hearts when consuming media that exposes unfortunate circumstances for entertainment. Together they also talk through how to keep from becoming jaded towards our fellow Christians, guarding your life against temptation, and overcoming spiritual regrets. Towards the end of the episode, Julia shares part of her own prodigal story—encouraging listeners to remember that no one is ever too far gone to run back to Jesus. This is an honest and uplifting discussion you’re not going to want to skip!
