When Heroes Fall

From Jude 3 Project founder and apologist comes a compassionate and insightful guide to healing, rebuilding trust, and renewing faith after our spiritual heroes fall to sin. Our faith is built by the people around us--our parents, coaches, leaders, and pastors. We look up to them as they help us build our beliefs one stone at a time. But when those same heroes sin, it shakes the foundation of our faith, leaving us feeling disillusioned, hurt, or even betrayed. Apologist and Jude 3 Project founder Lisa Victoria Fields knows what the fall of a spiritual hero can do to our faith and hearts. She watched her own hero's reputation unravel after his death and spent years processing her disappointment and confusion before finding a way forward toward healing and a stronger faith. In this thoughtful and relatable book, Lisa expertly walks readers through the complexities that follow the disillusionment of a fallen hero. With empathy and a solid biblical framework, she explores the thin line between admiration and worship, gives grief its proper place, gleans wisdom from a hero's victories and failures, and refocuses on the only true hero--Jesus. She underscores the importance of community support and provides steps to rebuild trust. With a grace and tenderness borne from personal experience, Lisa shines a light for those lost in the wake of broken trust. Her book serves as a beacon of hope, leading readers to a place of renewed faith and spiritual resilience.
