This episode is brought to you in part by George Fox University. I'm so excited about this partnership because I really believe the world needs leaders of character who are filled with joy, rooted in faith and have that grit to pursue what's right no matter what. And George Fox University is a Christ centered community that answers that call. It's ranked as Oregon's top Christian university. Their mission is to prepare students to think with clarity, to act with integrity, and to serve with passion.
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.
