Don’t miss this:  leadership that mimics Jesus will not be normal.  It will be neither expected nor, in most cases, preferred.  It will be disruptive and anomalous, and it will demand one’s body and soul, fortune, reputation, and all the other small gods that keep our lives safe and satisfied.  Here is God’s leadership model:  he chooses fools to live foolishly in order to reveal the economy of heaven, which reverses and inverts the wisdom of this world.  He calls us to brokenness, not performance; to relationships, not commotion; to grace, not success.

-Dan Allender
