The Christian leader of the future is called to be completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self. God loves us, not because of what we do or accomplish, but because God has created and redeemed us in love. ✨ In the Name of Jesus: Reflections on Christian Leadership. Book by Henri Nouwen, 1989.
