Before You Become the Next Headline
There’s still time to make a different decision.
Premieres Wednesday, November 4, 2026 · Noon Arizona time
Nobody Has to Know — the opening drama
Pastor David preached about integrity on Sunday. By Monday, he is trying to justify a private conversation he knows could cross a boundary. Then a friend asks a question David wasn’t expecting: Who’s checking on you?
The fictional four-scene audio drama ends with an unresolved decision. This episode asks what we can do before a pastor’s secret struggle causes greater harm.
What you’ll hear
- The warning of 1 Corinthians 10:12 against spiritual overconfidence
- Joseph’s decision to resist temptation in Genesis 39
- Why pastors need trustworthy friends, honesty, and accountability
- Healthy boundaries, safeguarding, and taking responsibility for harm
- Practical ways to stop a compromise before it goes further
The goal is not avoiding a headline. It’s telling the truth, protecting people, and taking the next right step.
