Everyone leading (podcast) (Isaiah 53)
What sort of leader is God? How does God’s leadership define the way we lead?
Is “mutual submission” an oxymoron? It’s not part of the political our commercial landscape. Influencers are people with followers, right? So where would we even look for such a radical model of leadership?
Isaiah 53 describes God as revealing his strength in the most fragile way. The all-powerful leader reaches out to his fallen servant, as the servant of his servant. The eternal leader enters in the demise of his servant, as the servant restoring his servant.
If that’s how God leads and we absorb God’s leadership into ourselves, how does this transform our social structures, families our communities, our lives?
