• “It all flows out of who we are as followers of Jesus. If we are being transformed by Him, if we’re choosing to intentionally follow Jesus and allow Him to transform our hearts, then these behaviors flow out of that. They’re not behaviors to learn, but they’re happening as fruit when we are living and leading as God intends because good leadership always reflects God’s good leadership and God’s good design.” -Brian
