Leadership, Integrity, and the Importance of Christian Character

This week on Trending, Matt and Pastor Joe tackle a question that’s becoming more urgent in today’s culture: Does Christian character still matter in leadership? From fallen pastors to compromised politicians, we’re seeing a trend where results often seem to matter more than integrity.

Drawing from Galatians 5 and examples from modern ministry, they explore how the Fruit of the Spirit should shape the lives of leaders, and why character still counts even when it’s inconvenient. They also offer wisdom on how we can guard our own integrity and help build communities where virtue is valued—not just for appearances, but as a faithful way of life.
