“The truth is, I don't need a great-leader highlight reel. I need the pain, the struggle, the Saturday nights when I just want to throw in the towel. I need to hear all the feels--anger, yes; jealousy, yep; but also numbness. I need this when the pain is too much, the problems too big, and the world too broken to feel like I can do a thing about it. Okay, I don't want a mentor who bleeds all over the place, but I don't want one that's totally polished either. I like my mentors just like I like my Bible characters: human, very human.”
