read more like a dictionary. a few helpful pointers. The biggest take away is the manifesto of what a spiritual leader is. something I'll consider printing just to remind myself.
"... I am a servant, and I use leadership as my primary tool for serving. My calling is to pursue godly goals. my model is Christ. my mission is to boldly catalyze change for the good. my goal is to emulate love and faith so as to create hope and to help those within my span of influence reach their potential."
