About this sermon
We live in a day where authority is often rebuffed and where many people are quick to assume all authority is abusive authority. And yet, some authority is abusive. But the antidote to bad authority is not “no authority” but “good authority.” Kevin welcomes Jonathan Leeman, editorial director for 9Marks, into the virtual studio to talk about Jonathan’s new book Authority: How Godly Rule Protects the Vulnerable, Strengthens Communities, and Promotes Human Flourishing. You’ll hear real life examples of good authority in action, and you’ll hear how authority can sadly be used for evil. Whether you exercise authority or sit under authority (and we all do some of both), you’ll be interested to listen in as two friends chat away on this important topic. 0:00 Intro & Sponsors 2:45 The Blessing and Danger of Authority 14:08 Perspectives on Authority 35:37 Alternative Interpretations of Authority 50:34 Authority, Wisdom, and Leadership 1:00:33 Until Next Time…
