Mike and Tim delve into the concept of cruciformity, exploring how the church can move away from "power over" dynamics and embrace the "power with" approach exemplified by Jesus and Paul. They discuss the misuse of power within Christian communities, the meaning of living a cruciform life, and how this shift challenges entitlement and the quest for control.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding Cruciformity – How Jesus's self-emptying and humility serve as a pattern for believers to forsake entitlement and embrace self-expenditure for the sake of others.
- Power Over vs. Power With – Analyzing the difference between worldly power that coerces and godly power that collaborates, and why the church should reject power over in favor of power with.
- Paul's Leadership Example – Discussing how Paul exemplified cruciform leadership by boasting in weakness and rejecting social prestige to rely on God's power.
- Challenging Entitlement in the Church – Confronting issues of entitlement and misuse of power within Christian communities, and how adopting a cruciform approach can lead to transformation.
