Episode notes

Christians view politics away from the strictly instrumental calculation of does this leader advance my agenda, often narrowly defined. They realise that they are image bearing leaders, or image bearing and so the character that they image, the virtues that they actually embody matters hugely. 'The idea that we are actually contributing to the darkness around us is a sober word of judgment,' says David Walliams.

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.
