“Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern”
In this episode of Studio RC, Pastor Max Ingram dives into the second tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.): 'For our group purpose, there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.' Max unpacks this tradition with an engaging mix of humour and heartfelt reflections, making it accessible even for those who might find traditions a bit dry.
You'll hear how these principles apply not only within A.A. but also in the Recovery Church Movement, where leadership is about serving rather than ruling. Max shares personal anecdotes and offers a fresh perspective on how a loving God guides both individual recovery and group decisions. He emphasises the importance of humility, service, and collective wisdom, making this episode a must-listen for anyone on a recovery journey.
So, are you ready to explore how spiritual guidance can shape leadership in your recovery community?
