Join us as we sit Across the Counter from Author, Speaker, and Pastor Tullian Tchividijan. In this ATC Episode: • Embarking on a bold exploration of downfall and redemption, Tullian joins us to share the tumultuous narrative woven into his book "Carnage and Grace." His memoir, a raw depiction of personal dissolution and the formidable journey back to faith after an affair, offers profound introspection on what it means to rebuild amidst the remnants of a very public collapse. • How being the grandson of Billy Graham impacted his thoughts on his own humbleness. • As a pastor re-entering his pastoral duties, Tullian confronts the challenges of finding a publisher brave enough to embrace his transparent account and the nuances of guiding a congregation wrestling with the tensions of judgment and grace. His story is not only his own but a mirror reflecting the broader complexities within the Christian community as it grapples with its leaders' imperfections. • Navigating the murky waters of sin and restoration, this episode illuminates the delicate dance of condemnation and compassion within the church. We reflect on the collective astonishment and struggles faced when leaders we hold in high esteem falter, examining our own responses to the fall from grace of figures like Ravi Zacharias whom he knew for many years. It’s a candid discussion on the paradoxical nature of the church as both a refuge for the broken and an arena for scrutiny, and how we might better foster a restorative environment. Join us for this intimate and impactful conversation that resonates with anyone seeking to understand the rocky road to redemption!
