On the Issues: Abandoning the Faith

Tweet Share

In the last year, the world has watched several high-profile evangelical leaders leave the faith. How should Christians think about and respond to brothers or sisters who abandon their hope in the gospel? In this video, I explore different struggles I experience in these situations and what the gospel teaches us about a compassionate response that is reflective not of our pride but of a thankfulness for God’s grace that keeps us.

What should Christians do when someone they admire leaves the faith?

Here’s the article I mention in the video. You can see more of these videos and subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
