How to Gain Power | Power and the Plank Pt.1

About this episode

The episode discusses how Jesus redefines power through humility and service in contrast to cultural norms of control and dominance.

In a culture obsessed with control, influence, and being right, Jesus redefines what power actually looks like. Instead of lording authority over others, He calls His followers to a posture of humility and service. This message confronts our tendency to control people, win arguments, and assert dominance—and invites us into the upside-down Kingdom where true power is expressed through surrender, love, and servanthood.
