The real test comes when they don't. In this episode of The Dialog, Josh and Nick continue their conversation on spiritual authority, exploring why submission, honor, and trust are some of the most difficult values to live out in a culture built around personal preference and individual choice. Through stories from Scripture, leadership experiences, and practical examples from everyday life, they examine the difference between principle and preference, why disagreement doesn't automatically justify rejection, and how our response to authority often reveals deeper issues of pride, entitlement, and trust. Because the question isn't whether leaders are imperfect—they always are. The question is whether we trust God enough to honor authority while He works through imperfect people.
