Leadership grit begets grit. Lead by example.

You don't have to be any more talented, any richer, any slimmer, any smarter, any more or less of anything to partner with God. All you have to be is willing to be used by him in everyday way

Authentic Christians are persons who stand apart from others. Their character seems deeper, their ideas fresher, their spirit softer, their courage greater, their leadership stronger, their concerns wider, their compassion more genuine and their convictions more concrete.

If you are too busy or too proud to pray with your children, you are too busy and too proud.

Truly, spiritual courage is on the endangered character-quality list.

Life is too short and the world too compassion-starved for you to keep subsisting in situations that drag you down and curtail your potential to help advance the Kingdom. There's just too much at stake.

If you don't change your schedule, you'll be the same person you've always been.
