Blind Guides and the Churches That Protect Them
Not every unhealthy church leader is obvious.
Some are protected.
Explained away.
Defended.
Given more room than they should have.
And over time, something shifts.

but in the church around them.
Because when accountability disappears,
people don’t always confront it.
Sometimes…
they just quietly leave.

The Gospel of the Self
