Ray Carroll

Ray Carroll is the author of the book, Fallen Pastor (working title). Fallen Pastor isn’t just about how one man fell into sin. It’s is an unflinching look into the problems and perils facing so many pastors.  With 1,500 pastors leaving the church a month due to a moral failure, it’s time someone brought the issue to light.  Ray explores the stories of so many pastors and how this hot-button issue is increasingly prevalent within a lot of churches.
Ray states, “The fallen minister is responsible for his own sin, but that sin does not occur in a vacuum. He faces a myriad of pressure from without and within. There often exists a culture within the church where the minister is placed upon a pedestal and expected to perform at a level that is unrealistic. The minister often reaches burnout and may fall while seeking comfort in the wrong places. This is a problem that has existed in our churches and in many of our ministers for a long time and can only be healed with love, forgiveness and humility.
