Summary
Jon talks about the recent revelations concerning Josh Buice of G3 ministries and relates it to a bigger problem across all institutions: Men without the necessary virtue to lead filling roles where leadership is required. Why are some of the most ambitious people the least qualified? How do we get qualified virtuous people into positions of leadership? All that and more.
