Mad kings & modern gatekeepers: The spirit of king Saul

P L U G Z O N E

Why do some leaders cling to power—even when it’s time to pass the torch? From King Saul to Kanye West, from Gillie Da Kid to corporate America, we’re breaking down how insecurity, greed, and fear of being replaced create cycles of gatekeeping, cultural conflict, and missed purpose.

In this episode, I explore the Spirit of Saul, a destructive mindset that turns potential mentors into mad kings, hoards power instead of sharing it, and prioritizes image over impact. We’ll dive into biblical wisdom, hip-hop culture, and personal stories to expose this pattern and show what godly leadership really looks like.

Topics Covered:
• King Saul and the fear of being replaced (1 Samuel)
• Hip-hop culture’s obsession with the throne
• Gatekeeping in Black communities and professional spaces
• The Cult of Diana Nemorensis & historical succession rituals
• Healthy leadership transitions in ministry
• Why collaboration over competition

📖 Scripture Highlight: Proverbs 28:25, Ephesians 4:11–13

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, blocked, or held back by gatekeepers—you’re not alone. And if you’ve ever been tempted to hoard what God gave you to share—this message is for you too.
