“The church has tried to protect position instead of holding up repentance as the greatest prize.” Andrea Burke

“There is such a weight on shepherding people - each of your sheep are not the same.   Although there are godly principles, if you’re going into ministry, that means you’re ministering to a flock of individual sheep.” Sharona Sledge

Amidst imperfect people and imperfect churches, the devastating consequences of moral failure and sexual sin affect us all. In this second episode of the Praise Hands Podcast series “Can I Trust The Church?”, worship leaders Andrea Burke and Sharona Sledge share how they navigated guilt, deceit, and betrayal in their evolving relationships with God and the church.

Listen now to hear Andrea and Sharona talk about:
● Dismantling “church shame” through a culture of confession
● When and how to confront signs of abuse or wrongdoing
● How to find freedom from sexual sin and help others do the same
