Summary

Friends, what makes great leaders great? Why do certain men and women seem to lead with such effectiveness?

On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss several great leaders including Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King, Jr., Pope St. John Paul II, and Queen Elizabeth II.

A listener asks, how can I be sure if I’m acting out a theo-drama or an ego-drama?
