Spoiled Fruit: Faith & Power

John Williamson

Booking Overview

This investigative interview series examines power, leadership, accountability, and institutional culture in evangelical Christianity, with external conversations primarily featuring current or former pastors and church leaders with firsthand experience of the issues under investigation. Credible pitches would include evangelical or denominational leaders, former church leaders, and specialists in church governance, pastoral care, abuse prevention, or institutional reform; booking difficulty is medium because the show values relevant lived experience and candid perspectives more than celebrity status, though the subject matter is sensitive.
