What does it mean to use power well, especially in communities where power has too often been used to harm? In this teaching from Haven’s All Things New series, Leah explores Jesus’ challenge to familiar ideas about greatness and leadership. Drawing on community organizing, her own experience as a pastor, and the example of Jesus, she considers why naming power dynamics, building accountability, and sharing power are essential to communities shaped by justice and care. Rather than retreating into powerlessness, what might it look like to use power in service of liberation, healing, and one another?
