This episode dives right into control-based Christianity, where one leader operates in a pyramid structure with no local accountability, mutual submission one to another, or healthy team offering good counsel and wisdom.
This type of leadership structure always sets Jesus, as the leader of His church, to the side, and replaces Him with a man-centered structure.
Pyramid systems are always evidenced by an exodus of beautiful and powerful families, friends, and gifted leaders. You can recognize these perverted, co-dependent ideologies by listening to the language; spiritual authority, governmental alignment under men, man-made legacies, submission, "conforming to community", seating yourself and your family under the "spiritual father", "son of the house", "apostle", "overseer", or "oracle", in order to be blessed and properly hear from God.
