This week on the podcast, I sit down with Becky Squire to discuss the dangerous implications of placing church leaders on a pedestal. We share some of our personal experiences and insights, and we also talk about:

•	The important notion that God can do remarkable things with imperfect people.
•	The fact that there is a time and place for blind faith, but it is always wise to consult the Lord and ask for confirmation.
•	What it means to have “pillars” in your testimony and the importance of keeping them in the forefront of your mind.
