Episode field note: Embracing Vulnerability in Leadership
As leaders, we are often tempted to hide the hard parts of our own transformation, fearing it will disqualify us in the eyes of those we lead. But if the mission is transformation for the sake of the gospel, we cannot separate ourselves from the process. We must live out the very change we ask of others.
