Next Generations Director Ethan Hardin takes a look at a form of national pride named exceptionalism, essentially believing one's national story is above rebuke. It is not unique to America. In fact, ancient Israel struggled with it. Is exceptionalism benign or healthy for corporate spirituality? Ethan takes a look at three prophets (Isaiah, Amos, and Jonah) and how God spoke to this issue when Israel became overly proud. When our national and corporate storytelling ignores injustice, it breeds pride. Pride breeds spiritual blindness. And the fruit of spiritual blindness is naive exceptionalism. The Church is invited into a story of humility. To begin adopting God's bigger and better story, lament is the appropriate response to the corporate sin of exceptionalism.
