Wise, Understanding, & Knowledgeable

Drawing on Deuteronomy 1:9-15, Pastor Miles teaches that God ordered Israel as a "Democratic Republican theocracy" governed by wise, understanding, and knowledgeable leaders who rise through a competence hierarchy. He contrasts this biblical worldview with modern sociological theory that sees all hierarchy as oppressive, tracing that critical idea back to the serpent's lie in Genesis 3.
