#50 Stories of Jesus - An Unexpected Servant (S3E9)

Christy ponders the plaque of abusive leaders within religious Christianity while telling the story of Jesus -- the ultimate authority -- who chose instead to be a humble servant and wash his disciples' feet. Looking back through history, humans seems to be obsessed with trying to gain power, money, and fame. Religion is a perfect system to help broken people to achieve their goals. Jesus tore that system apart and introduced a new way of thinking, the backwards and inside out Kingdom where the last are first, and the first are last, and the true leader is the servant of all. Scripture Mentioned: Philippians 2:5-8 John 13:1-16 Related Blog Posts: https://christylynnewood.com/2018/12/13/the-lump-under-the-rug/ https://christylynnewood.com/2019/02/24/pastors-abuse-and-the-church/ https://christylynnewood.com/2019/12/22/healing-from-spiritual-abuse/ Further Resources: "When Narcissism Comes to Church" by Chuck DeGroat "The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse" by David Johnson and Jeff Van Vonderan
