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.

One of the best sources of perspective is enemies. If we can learn from them, then we can profit from anyone.

In order to reclaim the joy and passion of leadership, we must walk the valley of the shadow of death and name the cost of leadership.

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

If we want to create a different future, we must have the courage to look at the past.

A leader - whether in the home, church, business, community, or government - has authority due to her role, but her positional power will not bring about good for individuals or organizations unless it is backed up by the capital of character.

So take seriously the story that God has given you to live. It’s time to read your own life, because your story is the one that could set us all ablaze.
