Today we’re discussing the disheartening news of Steve Lawson, the 73-year-old lead preacher at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas and president of OnePassion Ministries, being removed from ministry after an “inappropriate relationship” with an unidentified woman. We look at what happened and what information we don’t have, and look at just how this hypocrisy might test the faiths of those who have looked up to his teaching for so long. We share what sentiments we think Lawson should make clear in the midst of this news, and give some encouragement.
