Marks of a spiritual leader

For the leaders in my life, both the formal ones and the informal ones. I especially like the last point.

  • If you want to be a great leader of people, you have to get away from people to be with God. 
  • Spiritual leaders have a holy discontentment with the status quo. 
  • Leaders must be able to digest depression because they will eat plenty of it. 
  • On tactfulness: there is a big difference between saying "your foot is too big for this shoe" and "this shoe is too small for your foot". 

a little gem by John Piper that I found in an old journal
