Quick takeaways

  • Instead of elevating successful individuals and modeling their behavior, it is more beneficial to see their success as a reflection of God's goodness and work in their lives.

Seeing success as a reflection of God's goodness

Instead of elevating successful individuals and modeling their behavior, it is more beneficial to see their success as a reflection of God's goodness and work in their lives. By attributing the good to God rather than the person, it allows for a healthier and more biblical approach. Examining how God is working through them encourages a closer relationship with God and prevents the tendency to elevate individuals as heroes.
