Exposing Corruption in the Body of Christ | Association of Related Churches (ARC) Leadership (Part 1)

Written By Customer Support

Welcome to this week’s episode of Unspeakable Corruption, where we shine light on the shadows and expose corruption in the body of Christ.

In today’s episode, I discuss:

  • The ongoing situation with the Association of Related Churches (ARC) leadership.

  • Why I’m calling out serious corruption involving key leaders like Chris Hodges, Dino Rizzo, and the ARC board.

  • The need for ARC pastors to step up, take responsibility, and call for accountability.

This is not an attack on ARC’s mission—planting thriving, life-giving churches in communities is a good thing. But corruption at the top cannot be ignored. Without intervention, the legacy of ARC and its good works are at risk of being overshadowed by a legacy of shame.

Why This Matters:
Corruption thrives in silence. As followers of Jesus, we are commanded to expose evil, stand for truth, and protect God’s house. The Bible gives us clear guidance in Matthew 18 on holding others accountable, and when that is ignored or met with slander, we must speak louder.

Topics Covered in Part One:

  • How leaders’ actions—not intentions—must be weighed against scripture.

  • Stories from pastors who have reached out, sharing their own experiences of harm and fear.

  • Why exposing corruption is an act of love—calling for repentance to prevent further destruction.

I’m praying for repentance, accountability, and restoration. It’s time for the body of Christ to rise up, stand for truth, and act biblically in confronting corruption.
