Legacy leaders are the only ones wiling to pay the price to fix a broken culture.

It's not the things I don't understand about the Bible that bother me; it's the things I understand with perfect clarity and don't comply with that keep me up at night.

Leadership grit begets grit. Lead by example.

I can usually sense that a leading is from the Holy Spirit when it calls me to humble myself, serve somebody, encourage somebody or give something away. Very rarely will the evil one lead us to do those kinds of things.

People won't give their best unless their leader challenges them to do so.

Leaders, your God-given job is not merely to preside over something, not to pontificate to your underlings how smart you are, not merely to preserve something from its gradual demise; it's to figure out what God wants to get done in this world, figure out what role you play in that, and then to move something or someone from here to there.

God wants to father all of us until we're dead sure of his approval, his guiding power and his promise of heaven.
