Congressional Salaries: Can More Money Fix Our Government?
In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach explores the question, can more money fix our government? Prompted by a New York Times opinion piece, he considers whether raising congressional salaries might actually attract more competent and ethical leaders. Using both cultural insight and biblical teaching, he argues that underpaying leaders devalues leadership, fosters corruption, and ignores God’s design for wise, well-supported leadership. Ultimately, Pastor Zach challenges us to see leadership as a gift worth honoring so that we might raise up the best leaders possible.
