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

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

If you lead, you will eventually serve with Judas or Peter.

Most people want to grow, but the price of growth is pain.

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.

God wants us to relieve suffering, pursue justice, facilitate reconciliation, and free the heart to love, but He desires for us to do so in a way that reveals His Character. It is not enough just to do well for others or to do things well. We must do well in our unique way in order to reveal the vast creativity of a God who loves to bring change through the most unlikely channels.

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