Embracing Countercultural Leadership

Quote: “Being countercultural isn’t about breaking rules for the sake of breaking rules. It’s about not letting cultural norms dictate how you fulfill your purpose.” – Nick Chellsen

In my book A Leader Worth Imitating, I wrote that being countercultural isn’t about breaking rules for the sake of breaking rules. It’s about not letting cultural norms dictate how you fulfill your purpose.

The Week That Changed Everything by Nick Chellsen
“For those longing to be reunited in Heaven with their loved ones who have passed, every day is Holy Saturday. Yes, Sunday is coming. And it will be a joyful day when we are reunited with our loved ones in Heaven. However, today is Saturday. That time in-between can be long and painful. Holy Week gives us time to rejoice. It also gives us time to grieve.”

“Self-awareness is knowing your strengths and your weaknesses. It’s knowing what energizes you and what drains you. It’s knowing how you lead when you’re calm versus how you lead when you’re stressed.”
― Nick Chellsen, A Leader Worth Imitating: 33 Leadership Principles From the Life of Jesus

“A physical cross is the death of our bodies. A spiritual cross is the death of our will. While you might not be called to take up a physical cross in your lifetime, you are still called to take up a spiritual cross every day.”

― Nick Chellsen, The Week That Changed Everything: A Holy Week Devotional for Leaders

“The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth is an invitation to return to those unanswered prayers. It’s also a reminder of the joy that answered prayers can bring.”

“From the manger to the empty tomb, the message is the same: “Do not be afraid.”
― Nick Chellsen, Leading with Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love: A 4-Week Advent Devotional for Leaders

“The opposite of fear is not bravery, courage, or another Merriam-Webster antonym. The opposite of fear is love.”
― Nick Chellsen, Leading with Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love: A 4-Week Advent Devotional for Leaders

“As Christians, our efforts need to be spent on cultivating actual fruit, not curating the appearance of fruit.”
