Renowned pastor and author Tony Evans sent shockwaves through the Christian community with his recent announcement of stepping away from pastoral duties to undergo a process of restoration following an undisclosed “sin.”
Evans, who leads the 11,000-member Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship church in Dallas, Texas, has wielded significant influence across modern Christianity. Leonardo Blair, senior reporter for the Christian Post, delves into the details, implications, and future implications on “The Inside Story.”
“While Evans, who has served as pastor for 48 years, did not disclose precise reasons for his leave of absence, he acknowledged in a written statement that while he did not engage in criminal activity, he acknowledged shortcomings relative to the biblical principles championed by his ministry, alluding to ‘sin,‘” Blair wrote in a recent piece.
Blair also dives into the implications Evans’ announcement has on his other ministries and outreaches, including a Christian cruise to the Mexican Riviera, which he was slated to headline this fall.
