"I had false power. I thought money, prestige, titles, and awards made me powerful. I am decorated in this life which proves I a worthy soldier. But the worth of a leadership cannot be given. The worth of a following cannot be bought. Those who don't see you will stray. True fellowship comes from showing yourself nakedly; exposing your detriments, letting the world see your scarred and broken truths, and having people stay with you anyway. When a man remains at your table when there is no food, you know that you have a friend."
Founder of 20/20 Vision for Success and the author of Finding Honor: The Journey to Truth Christine Beckwith is back with us on the show for part 16 of our ongoing series where we are discussing her book in detail. Chapter 16, entitled "Standing Down" is our focus today and this chapter is all about looking inward. Christine and Jay discuss the difficulty of letting things from your past go, how ego can get away from you when you're put into a position of power, and how no matter how many chances someone is given, everyone has a point where enough is enough. Christine does a wonderful job unpacking this chapter and we hope you enjoy this episode of The Culture Matters Podcast.
