Transcribed highlights of the show can be found in our episode summaries.\nThis week, Christianity Today published an in-depth report on allegations of sexual misconduct by popular apologist Ravi Zacharias:\xa0\n"Three women who worked at the businesses, located in a strip mall in the Atlanta suburbs, told Christianity Today that Ravi Zacharias touched them inappropriately, exposed himself, and masturbated during regular treatments over a period of about five years. His business partner said he regrets not stopping Zacharias and sent an apology text to one of the victims this month.\n"RZIM denies the claims, saying in a statement to CT that the charges of sexual misconduct \u201cdo not in any way comport with the man we knew for decades.\u201d The organization has hired a law firm \u201cwith experience investigating such matters\u201d to look into the allegations, which date back at least 10 years. RZIM declined to answer any further questions about the inquiry."\nThis week on Quick to Listen, we discuss this story with Daniel Silliman, the\xa0journalist who wrote it. He joined global media manager Morgan Lee and editorial director Ted Olsen to discuss how he went about reporting this story, what makes this story unique from other stories of other fallen Christian leaders, and why CT reports bad news on Christian leaders, even after they have passed away.\xa0\nWhat is Quick to Listen?\xa0Read more\nRate Quick to Listen on\xa0Apple Podcasts\nFollow the podcast on\xa0Twitter\nFollow our hosts on Twitter:\xa0Morgan Lee\xa0and\xa0Ted Olsen\nWhy we report bad news about leaders: A note from the editors on the Ravi Zacharias investigation\nFollow our guest on Twitter: Daniel Silliman\nMusic by\xa0Sweeps\nQuick to Listen is produced by\xa0Morgan Lee\xa0and\xa0Matt Linder\nThe transcript is edited by\xa0Bunmi Ishola\nLearn more about your ad choices.
