How do we become a community where truth, brokenness, and grace can coexist? In this deeply vulnerable episode, Mike Erre steps forward to share hard, personal truths about the convergence of his private struggles and public ministry. Joined by co-hosts Tim Stafford and Bonnie Lewis, the Voxology team models what it means to confront sin, pain, and shame not with silence but with courageous transparency, loving accountability, and a commitment to holistic healing.

Together, they explore the importance of rooting a spiritual community in truth, grace, and vulnerability rather than image management and performance. This candid conversation serves not only as an update for Voxology listeners but as an invitation for all Christians to consider how we respond to failure, how we practice redemptive grace, and how we create spaces safe enough to walk through real pain in pursuit of real transformation.

Key Takeaways: • Truth Over Image – Why honest confession and transparency are essential in deconstructing performance-based church culture. • The Long Road to Healing – Mike’s commitment to therapy, spiritual community, and integrating his public and private life through Jesus’s grace. • Creating Safe Faith Spaces – Exploring how church communities can reckon with failure and extend grace without glossing over pain or accountability. • The Role of the Vox Community – How the team, including Vox’s board and co-hosts Tim and Bonnie, is leaning into modeling generative restoration instead of punitive responses. • Looking Ahead – How Voxology will continue with thoughtful guests and spiritual conversations while Mike takes time away from the mic to pursue deeper healing and clarity.
