When Role Models Fail You

Hello, friend! It is a sobering thing when the people we look up to—the ones who are supposed to lead the way—stumble and fall. In this video, Rhome shares a deeply personal look at his own upbringing, revealing the painful reality of family turmoil. You see, it’s entirely possible to look like a roaring success on the outside while everything is fractured on the inside.

Often, we use our achievements as a mask to hide from our own struggles and sins. But I want you to know that while role models may fail us, God never does. If you’ve felt the sting of disappointment from someone you admired, or if you’re tired of hiding behind a “successful” image, Rhome’s story will speak to your heart. Let’s talk about how to move from hiding in the shadows to walking in the light of God’s truth.

Insight for Living Broadcast

I found Insight for Living through our Bible study leader back in 1985, and this ministry has helped me grow in my faith as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Chuck's messages from the Bible have many a time kept me afloat and paddling toward the goal in this Christian race.
