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.\n\nScripture Mentioned:\nPhilippians 2:5-8\nJohn 13:1-16\n\nRelated Blog Posts:\nhttps://christylynnewood.com/2018/12/13/the-lump-under-the-rug/\nhttps://christylynnewood.com/2019/02/24/pastors-abuse-and-the-church/\nhttps://christylynnewood.com/2019/12/22/healing-from-spiritual-abuse/\n\nFurther Resources:\n"When Narcissism Comes to Church" by Chuck DeGroat\n"The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse" by David Johnson and Jeff Van Vonderan
