Summary
This episode reflects on how emigration can unintentionally help bad rulers survive, then applies that same dynamic to churches and institutions. This episode explores why faithful, wise people often leave unhealthy leadership cultures, how their absence can create silence rather than true unity, and why Christian leaders must become approachable, accountable, and grounded in Christ rather than power, numbers, or control.
