From Weakness to Strength: 8 Vulnerabilities That Can Bring Out the Best in Your Leadership
For Christian leaders—both inside and outside of the church—weaknesses that are left unchecked can lead to a downfall that is both public and painful. They want to lead with character and live like Jesus, but ambition, isolation, criticism, envy, anticlimax, opposition, restlessness, and insecurity can get in the way. From Weakness to Strength provides leaders with tools to draw near to Jesus and stay encouraged and hopeful, even (and especially) when sin and struggle get in the way.
Top Highlights
“God isn’t nearly as concerned about what we’re doing for Christ as he is committed to forming Christ inside us.” (source)
“All because I have come to realize that God’s most effective leaders don’t rise to power in spite of their weakness; they lead with power because of their weakness.” (source)
“When God gives us success for a time, when he chooses to put the wind at our backs—by all means, we should enjoy the experience. But we mustn’t hang our hats on it … because earthly success, in all its forms, comes to us as a gift from God and is also fleeting.” (source)
“Our task is also to do battle against the guilt and shame that haunt us, the guilt and shame that linger even after we have owned up to God and made restitution to and sought forgiveness from those who have suffered because of our actions.” (source)
“Lesson #1—Our Failures and Disappointments Reveal the State of Our Souls” (source)
