Problems with Power (#775) - a podcast by Wayne Jacobsen

Power has always been difficult for humans to navigate without doing great harm. Wayne and Kyle dive into a recent study by researcher Brené Brown about power. Her research identified four kinds of power—power over, power with, power to, and power within.  Power over is the worst of these because it sees power as limited and is maintained by an ever-increasing capacity for cruelty.  Other kinds of power, however, leads us to greater empathy and serves others more than seeks to be served. Wayne and Klye discuss this research with an eye to its application in the kingdoms of this world, and in the kingdom Jesus is building.
