Lisa Fields and Dr. Vincent Bacote wrestle with one of Christianity's most uncomfortable questions: what do you do when one of your heroes is racist?
Using Abraham Kuyper as a case study, Dr. Bacote shares how discovering the theologian's racist writings forced him to wrestle with whether profound theological insights can be separated from serious moral failures.
Together, they examine:
- Why we put Christian leaders on pedestals
- The psychology behind the "halo effect"
- How hero worship fuels disappointment and cancel culture
- Whether we should reject everything a fallen leader taught
- Why Jesus—not any pastor, theologian, or celebrity—is the only perfect hero
