When Leaders Fall: One Woman’s Story of Faith After Church Hurt
In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my friend, Glenda Medina, as she shares her honest reaction after learning of the allegations against her former pastor, Robert Morris of Gateway Church. She opens up about the confusion, pain, and processing that followed—and why she ultimately chose to remain rooted in her church community. Her story is one of wrestling with disappointment, leaning into faith, and finding her anchor in Christ.
Please note: This is her personal experience and perspective. It does not represent the official views of Gateway Church. At the time of this recording, the church was still without a senior pastor; however, on May 25th, a new lead pastor has been announced.
This episode is for anyone navigating church hurt, seeking healing, or trying to reconcile faith with failure.
