...often, stepping outside your comfort zone is not careless irresponsibility, but a necessary act of obedience.

As a believer just because you gain more fame or authority doesn't mean anything, this means you have more feet to wash

Serving people we don't see eye to eye with is the essence of Christianity. Jesus died for a world with which he didn't see eye to eye. If a bakery doesn't want to sell its products to a gay couple, it's their business. Literally. But leave Jesus out of it.

God uses broken-hearted leaders.

Our culture highlights all the trouble, all the drama, all the affairs and all the junk. Do not believe for a minute that any of that reflects reality. That does not have to be your future. The handwriting is not written on the wall.

The moment a leader steps away from his core competencies, his effectiveness as a leader diminishes.

No one ever has the resources they need.
