Power Corrupts—When a Brother Turns Against His Own

How does someone go from being a servant of the people to an enforcer of injustice? It’s a question that lingers in the behavior of Remington Schilling, a veteran whose actions stand in stark contrast to the brotherhood of service.

In this eye-opening discussion, Erin Harrell and Chris Alexander explore how power can corrupt even the best of men.

“It reminds me of what Aristotle said—power is a beast that can corrupt hearts and minds. Maybe Schilling was once a decent person, but power changed him. There’s no other explanation for the way he acted.”

Yet, even in the face of betrayal, Erin emphasizes the importance of prayer. “God calls us to pray for our enemies. It’s heartbreaking to see someone abandon the brotherhood of service.”

This conversation challenges us to think about integrity, the weight of power, and the choices that define a person’s character.
