What kind of leadership changes cultures for good? President Trump's first week in office included all sorts of executive orders which go against the grain of the cultural tide of previous decades. To many observers, much of this seems like the kind of common sense decision-making we've not seen in some time. Yet for others (including many Christians on our side of the pond) such actions only further fuel the fires of malice against the likes of Trump. Why is this?
Is the modern Christian aversion to strong, masculine leadership a good thing or does it show the way we've been unduly influenced by the principles and stories of the secular, liberal, feminist paradigm over decades? What is the root of the loss of honour and risk in modern leadership? How might the recent "vibe shift" towards conservative principles in the US affect the culture (and the Church) here in the UK?
