## Resource

Public failure changes everything.  But what should the church actually do when a Christian falls?  Too often Christian's respond with suspicion, gossip, outrage, or permanent shame. But is that how Christ restores people? in this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing examined what scripture says about restoring repentant sinners and why many churches have lost sight of biblical grace.  From Galatians 6 to the prodigal son to Peter's restoration after denying Christ, this episode explores the tension between truth, discipline, mercy, and restoration. The question is not whether Christian's fail. The question is if the church knows what to do afterwards.
