Why do we elevate false teachers and corrupt leaders while silencing those who speak truth? In this powerful episode, Rodney LaBruce takes aim at the systems—both spiritual and political—that reward charisma over character and comfort over confrontation.

Drawing from scripture, history, and real-life observations, Rodney breaks down how we’ve come to protect the powerful at the expense of the truth-tellers. From misused Bible verses to political tribalism, from toxic loyalty to institutional gatekeeping, this episode tackles the deep-rooted fear, fatigue, and manipulation that keep us following the wrong voices.

If you've ever been told to “just pray about it” instead of speaking up, or felt labeled as divisive for telling the truth, this episode is for you.

📍 Topics include:

  • Psalm 105:15 and the myth of untouchable leadership
  • Why “unity” without truth is just spiritual suppression
  • The savior complex in churches and politics
  • Stockholm Syndrome and emotional manipulation in leadership
  • Pathological altruism and how niceness can be dangerous
  • Institutional loyalty vs. prophetic courage
  • Biblical examples of confrontation done right

This isn’t just a critique—it’s a call to wake up, speak out, and stop protecting platforms over people.
🔥 Listen, reflect, and share. Let’s teach lions how to rise and roar.
