Exposing Fallen Powers

from Naming the Real · host Brandon Cook

The scapegoating mechanism always invites us to return violence for violence. Drawing on Jesus, Nathan the Prophet, James Lawson, and Howard Thurman, Brandon explores how to unmask fallen powers without entering the scapegoating mechanism ourselves. The way out calls for courage and the courage of compassion—of speaking truth to power as an act of kindness, but also of exercising self-compassion. And this may be the hardest path of all.
