In this episode of The REBOOT Recovery Show, host Evan Owens dives into the story of King Rehoboam, son of Solomon, to extract valuable lessons on leadership and decision-making. The tale of Rehoboam is a cautionary one - he famously rejected the wisdom of his elders in favour of the flattery and misguided advice of his peers. This choice led to a divided kingdom and a disastrous reign.
Owens draws parallels between Rehoboam's story and modern-day leadership, questioning whether we, too, are trading timeless wisdom for trendy advice in our lives and churches. Are we surrounding ourselves with yes-men instead of seeking counsel from those with more experience? Through a faith-based lens, this episode encourages listeners to reflect on their inner circles and the sources of their advice. Owens shares personal anecdotes, including his own experiences as a young CEO seeking guidance from seasoned leaders.
He emphasises the importance of humility and leveraging the life experiences of elders to avoid repeating past mistakes. This episode is not just a history lesson but a practical guide for anyone looking to make wiser decisions in their personal and professional lives. It's a compelling reminder to value the counsel of those who have walked the path before us and to be mindful of the company we keep.
Tune in for a blend of biblical wisdom, personal reflection, and actionable advice that can help you navigate your own leadership journey. Ready to rethink your inner circle? This episode might just be the nudge you need.
