Philip Yancey's affair and the cover-up

Ben reports that Philip Yancey, the respected Christian author none of them has read in full, carried on a seven-or-eight-year affair with his wife and the news only surfaced in recent months. Ben reflects on his own fallibility: after fifteen years on microphones, could someone find one clip to disqualify his ten thousand faithful things? The hosts are most troubled not by the sin but by the cover-up — the red carpet rolled out for years, the lies told while espousing the gospel, and the question of how a preacher sleeps at night while living in rebellion. Dan Hudson is named as an example of someone formed, in part, by a fallen figure (Jim Baker) who still pointed him toward Jesus.
