LILR 167 | Andy Crouch Speaks to Leadership Guardrails in the Church

Do you actually have power, and what are you supposed to do with it? On this episode of Leaders in Living Rooms, Sean Morgan sits down with author Andy Crouch, whose landmark book Playing God reframed how a generation of Christian leaders think about power, for a conversation most leadership podcasts won't touch. Andy makes the case that power isn't a necessary evil to be minimized or hidden behind a flat org chart; it's a gift, and the only thing that keeps it from corrupting is sacrificial love. Sean and Andy unpack why isolation (not authority) is the real danger every leader faces, and how the healthiest churches build real accountability without pretending power doesn't exist. If you've ever felt uneasy about your own influence, this one will hand you language and a working model you can use this week. Welcome to Episode 167 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.
