Leadership connects deeply with the identity receptor, who who am i? Who am i? You know, in one of the things that lakes, for example, with vladimir putton, or other militarily successful autocrats, have been able to do in years past, is provide people with pride in national identity through raw power. For example, connecting with who am I? I am a citizen of a powerful nation. Ah, i am a follower. And what is my purpose, the glory and power of this nation? This leader. If you're, if your identity marker isn't fully filled, you're more vulnerable. That's how i feel like i've underestimated the power
This week David and Curtis help us look at leadership and what it is about certain leaders that seems to resonate so deep in our souls. Why does President Zelensky’s stand in Kyiv inspire us? Is it possible that a man who claims no Christian identity can be bearing the image of God? How do we recognize these images while not falling for the temptation of idolatry and worship of leaders as false images? Join us for this fascinating and timely discussion of the spiritual power of leadership.
