What Power Will Do To You (#981)

"Power does strange things to people," say recent studies. "Like alcohol, (it) has a tangible effect on the brain." Holding power over others actually rewires the brain to give them less empathy and respect for others. Is that why Jesus told his followers that while the world assumes authority over others, it isn't so in his kingdom? Kyle and Wayne discuss power distribution in hierarchical systems and why it almost always leads to abuse, indulgence, and corruption.
