The more you openly name your struggles, the less people can use your silence as a back door to blackmail you, to sabotage your leadership, or to subvert relationships within the organization.

Buzyness, however, is moral laziness because it involves refusing to live with courage and intentionality.

Bold love is courageously setting aside our personal agenda to move humbly into the world of others with their well-being in view, willing to risk further pain in our souls, in order to be an aroma of life to some and an aroma of death to others.

The desire for beauty, the hunger for union, the passion to be part of something greater than self, all arise out of our bent to worship.

What originally led us to serve others by leading them seldom remains our North Star.

The cost for the recipient of God’s grace is nothing, and no price could be higher for arrogant people to pay.

Grace. Loss. Fortune. Hardship. Victory. Sometimes the worst seat is best seat in the house and it comes as a result of leading.
