From his departure from Hillsong to the collapse of Story Church, his journey has been marked by painful headlines, personal challenges, and the kind of public scrutiny most leaders never face.Now stepping into a new season as Lead Pastor of Christian Cultural Center Atlanta under the guidance of Dr. A.R. Bernard, Sam is ready to speak openly about redemption, reconciliation, and rebuilding with integrity. In this candid conversation, we dive into the lessons learned, the marriage restored, and his bold vision for a multicultural, multi-generational church that centers healing over hype.This is more than a comeback story. It’s a masterclass in faith, accountability, and what it means to lead with scars, not perfection.
