Jeremy is joined by Steve Manuel to discuss how to predict when a Christian leader will fall - an unfortunate reality, but important conversation that needs to happen as believers. They compare the system of disciple-making vs. the system of celebrity-making, and provide a number of specific tactics that anyone with a growing sphere of influence can utilize to ensure ego and celebrity do not overtake their humble service for God's glory.
