We can’t talk about renewing the church in our generation if we don’t put the question of abusive leadership on the table. But discussing leadership raises an even bigger question, one of authority, and how it is to be exercised. There’s no easy task in front of us. The problem is multifaceted. Shepherds who, for one reason or another, abuse their authority, lording their power and domineering the sheep. And shepherds who respond by failing to lead, abandoning the proper sphere of influence they’ve been given. What will it take for future church leaders to look like Jesus and reject the sinful scrambling for power? And what will it take for pastors to stand firm, to not abandon the sphere of influence they’ve been given, but to lead with boldness and courage, reflecting the wise rule of the Creator who called them to ministry?
On this episode of Reconstructing Faith, join Trevin Wax as he questions how to rebuild the culture of leadership in the church to showcase healthy examples of authority and power.
