A crisis reveals character because in the moment of crisis we do what we have been practicing. We display what we have habituated. We demonstrate what or who we live in obedience to.
I fear we often tend to select leaders in the Christian world according to gifting rather than character. We have watched large institutions - ones we believed successful and godly - come apart when there is exposure of ungodly but “successful” leadership. Integrity must lead.
@chuckdegroat Years ago, I watched a senior professor steal from a junior professor and saw what it did to their career. Yes, I believe insecurity was driving it. I won't read that persons books. The integrity issue is too great for me.
This is massive. @CTmagazine, the flagship publication for Trump's base (white evangelicals) has called for him to be removed from office. And it appears that the buzz is so big that it has crashed their website.

Narcissistic leaders will slowly turn their organizations into monuments to themselves.
If a scandal threatens the image of the organization, narcissistic leaders are more likely to lie and coverup because the threat to the organization is seen as a threat to their identity.
