116. Playing the "God Card"

Oct 06 2024 7 mins  
One of the things I have noticed, both within this specific work and in the broader global worker context, is the tendency to play what I’m going to generally call the “God Card.” The God Card is when, in a conversation, someone says “God told me to do this” and then there is no opportunity for further conversation.
