#366 - 5 Good Lessons from a Bad Example

About this episode

Wayne Stiles discusses valuable lessons that can be learned from bad examples in leadership, referencing the book of 3 John.

Who in your life has set a bad example? Perhaps you had a parent who disciplined out of anger. Or a pastor who wielded his Bible like a club. Or a boss who abused his or her power. It’s easy to dismiss such lousy leadership as incompetence, but Scripture says we can learn a lot from a bad example! In this episode of ​Live the Bible​, we’re turning to the book of 3 John to find out what those lessons are. They’re helpful ones we can all use—and apply—right away. Support the show
