Can I be honest for a minute?

I'm fed up with reading about people in ministry who disgraced the name of Christ. It's just becoming toxic to my soul. I gotta change the topic.

Who are the believers that have been faithful to their spouses, their children, their integrity?
I'll give some answers:

1) My dad. You will probably never read about him. By the world's standards he's a nobody. 35 years of faithfulness in marriage. 20+ years of pastoral ministry with compassion and integrity. Loves his kids. Reads Scripture and prays every day.
2) @JohnPiper and @timkellernyc. Heroes. You may not agree with everything they've ever said. Neither do they! Faithful to their wives. Not greedy for gain. They live what they preach and they love meeting ordinary people. I'm SO thankful for them.
3) @NathanielRMart2. My best friend. Pastoring in NC. He's not making his family or his congregation wait while he tries to become famous enough to headline a conference or sign books. Has told me multiple times, "Ask me the hard questions." A genuine pastor.
I could go on for a long time. I will another day. What are other names? Who are the faithful leaders, the real deals?
