Mike Genung Interview on The Total Experience

When individuals, families, and churches hide their sin, be it large numbers of men and women ensnared in sexual sin or pornography, or if someone is abused sexually or spiritually, the system becomes more important then helping God's people, or even God's holiness. On a large scale, some in leadership positions may try to silence those who have been abused in their flock in order to "protect the reputation of the church," which adds more pain to those who have been hurt and states that the holiness of God doesn't matter. Mike discusses how the coverup causes more damage than good. 
"Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper but he who confesses and forsakes them will find mercy." 
- Proverbs 28:13
