Power Paradox: The True Nature of Authority in the Church and at Home [Ep. 8]
Martyr Mentality
Fr. Daniel Shaba begins the convo by catching Abbot Ankido up on the major gambling scandal rocking the NBA. The conversation then pivots to the main topic of the nature of authority in the Church, touching on Jesus' teachings about leadership through service, the potential for spiritual abuse, and the struggles of maintaining authority with love and integrity. They get into the dynamics of authority in marriages and workplaces, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and the dangers of control. They then somehow transition to the highly divisive debate on the appropriate time to begin listening to Christmas music and when to put decorations up. This is can't-miss content!
