What Have I Done?: Why Spirit-Filled Pastors Fall to Sexual Immorality

What Have I Done? Why Spirit-Filled Pastors Fall to Sexual Immorality

A Bold and Unfiltered Look into a Crisis No One Wants to Talk About

A pastor falls. The news spreads like wildfire. Some are shocked, others are outraged, and a few quietly whisper, "I saw it coming." Church members reel in disbelief, struggling to reconcile the man they admired with the scandal now unfolding. How does a leader who once stood for holiness, preached against temptation, and called others to righteousness end up in the very sins he condemned?

This is not just another book about moral failure—it is a deep, unflinching dive into the unspoken struggles of pastors. It goes beyond the headlines and the outrage to expose the spiritual, psychological, and systemic forces that make even the most anointed men vulnerable to sexual sin.

Too many times, churches have been blindsided by revelations of fallen pastors. But these failures don't happen overnight. They are the result of hidden battles, ignored warning signs, and deep-rooted issues that have long been at work behind the scenes.

Why do pastors fall?

✔️ Is it a failure of character or a failure of spiritual discipline?

✔️ Is it hypocrisy or an unavoidable human weakness?

✔️ Can a fallen leader ever be restored? And should they?

In What Have I Done?, I confront the hard truths that many would rather avoid, exploring how unchecked power, admiration, emotional exhaustion, and theological distortions set pastors up for failure.
