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

Idealism may get us into the fray, but it is the loss of all we cherish that begins to form in us a heart capable of leading others reluctantly and humbly.

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

To experience brokenness and humiliation all you have to do is lead.

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.

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.

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.
