There’s an interesting story in Genesis 11 that speaks directly to leadership, pride, and ego. It’s a warning to all of mankind of the dangers of ambition.
Dietrick Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) was a German pastor, theologian and anti-Nazi dissident. He was opposed to Hitler’s genocide of the Jews, and ran “underground seminaries” during the war. In 1943 he was imprisoned by the Gestapo. Bonhoeffer was executed in the spring of 1945.
