Ep 2: Toxic Church—What is Power and How is it Abused in Faith Settings?
Guests: Diane Langberg & Phil Monroe.
Interviewer: Pete Singer.
Join Robert, Hannah, and Zane as they listen to and break down a previous GRACE Live Conversation with Dr. Diane Langberg and Phil Monroe about what power is, the forms it takes, and how it can be misused in faith settings. Plus, the wisdom (or lack thereof) of bringing back Dire Wolves, the temptation to take shortcuts to power, and prioritizing legal obligations versus caring for the vulnerable.
