by Leading like Jesus means moving from a posture of being an expert and answerer to being a learner and a listener. In this episode, Ben Sternke and Matt Tebbe talk about how a “dust-up” about racism on Matt’s Facebook page reveals some of the essential posture shifts necessary for leading and living like Jesus.
Specifically, how does our relationship to power inform the way we operate in the world? Especially those of us who carry cultural power by virtue of our skin color and gender, what does Jesus model for us in how to lead in this place?
