Episode notes

Trinity Forum was started over 30 years ago with the purpose of cultivating curating and disseminating the best of Christian thought. It provides a space for leaders to wrestle together with the big questions of life, but in the context of faith. So because so many of the people that we served were in leadership positions, we're needing to deal with questions of power and influence and responsibility.

We’ve witnessed story after story about the abuse of power practiced by Christians and Christian institutions. Does that mean that, to quote Lord Acton, that “power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely?” How should followers of Jesus relate to the possibility of wielding power? Cherie Harder, the President of The Trinity Forum, is ideally suited to address these questions. She’s spent a lifetime in the corridors of power and shares a wealth of theological and practical wisdom on this important topic.
