02:04 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzn6nuehzB8&t=124s) I have attended church for a few years now, recently became a member at my church. I now constantly talk about Jesus and church with my friends and co-workers. However, I become concerned by what seems to be a consistent pattern of prominent Pastors and ministers stepping down from their positions because of past sins. This type of situations always seems to be the ones my peers point to when I’m trying to convince them to come to church with me. How do you handle a situation like this in groups that you talk to?
