Abstract

Today I see a widening chasm between our vision of Christian leadership and the reality of those whom we support. What we expect from our local leaders is increasingly different from what we expect of persons in the highest government offices, even the presidency. The 81% of white evangelicals who voted for Donald Trump and who continue to support him are proof of this.

What shocked me is not that he is president, but that ethical behavior, holy character, love, and service to the least of these didn’t matter so much to 8 out of 10 of us. These are the hallmarks of any evangelical believer and should be especially descriptive of our servant leaders who have a mandate to lead like Christ.
