Can I be honest for a minute?

I& #39;m fed up with reading about people in ministry who disgraced the name of Christ. It& #39;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& #39;ll give some answers:

1) My dad. You will probably never read about him. By the world& #39;s standards he& #39;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& #39;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& #39;m SO thankful for them.
3) @NathanielRMart2. My best friend. Pastoring in NC. He& #39;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?
