“All of us are God’s images on earth - we are to be God’s representatives of power.”
It’s not a bold statement to say that people in power often abuse it. We see corruption of power in leadership in all facets of society: politics, school administrations, businesses both large and small, churches, and even inside homes. But what if we approached leadership in a way that is more aligned with the God who leads us?
Ann Garrido (she/her), an expert in Christian leadership, invites us to find a new way forward. She encourages us to look closely at the model God sets before us: one that is about power with instead of power over. Doing so will transform us as leaders.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
