How far should one go when it comes to showing honor to leaders? When does it cross the line into cringe-worthy territory, or worse, into a sinful or outright wrong practice? And who bears responsibility in this dynamic—the leaders who manipulate and demand honor, or the individuals who freely offer it, sometimes at their own expense?
In this discussion, we confront the tension that arises in this complex issue. It's evident that leaders are often surrounded by YES people who believe the leader can do no wrong, a phenomenon the world observes.
We delve into the underlying reasons behind this leader worship, exploring why people sometimes fall victim to it. Additionally, we provide insights into how individuals can avoid becoming leaders who demand unwarranted worship from their followers.
Furthermore, we explore the concept of the Radical Middle in this context, emphasizing the importance of striking a balance between being a leader and maintaining humility, without seeking excessive attention.
Join us as we navigate the intricate dynamics of honoring leaders, seeking a path that promotes genuine respect while avoiding the pitfalls of undue adulation.
