The Burden of Secrecy Among Pastors
Pastors often grapple with the challenge of maintaining a façade while hiding personal sins and secrets. This disconnect between public persona and private struggles leads to a state of dysfunction where the individual adapts to living with lies. The shame and fear of losing reputation can drive some pastors deeper into concealment rather than prompting them to seek help, creating an environment where they hide their true selves from even those closest to them. The experience of Carl Lentz, who faced moral failure, exemplifies this burden of secrecy, suggesting that many within the ministry may prioritize maintaining their positions over confronting their hidden struggles.
