The Lord is so wise. Who else would have thought of defining leadership as servant-hood? You lead, you trust the Lord, and if people don't go along with you, you don't make a fuss about it. You just continue to be faithful. The Lord's sheep will hear His voice of leadership. You don't need to force it on anyone.

That's the model the Lord defined.
It's hard for me to believe that the entire LC system of abuse, control, mistreatment, public shaming and bullying was due solely to comments made by WN about how harshly Margaret Barber rebuked him. First of all, there is no scriptural justification whatsoever, in fact, the Apostle Paul repeatedly testified how he behaved just the opposite. Secondly, the source of this bad pattern was a sister.
