Authority

September 25, 2023/ Elsa Worth

Plumb

July 09, 2018/ Elsa Worth

The prophet's very challenging task is to speak the truth even when it's risky or may ruffle the feathers of those in power.

Authority

January 22, 2018/ Elsa Worth

Authority and power go hand in hand, and that's why people who are feeling powerless often resent authority so deeply.
