As the event started, he sat in the back and looked across a half-empty room and was disheartened by the light attendance. As the night finished, despite maximizing every minute of the event, there…
In J. Oswald Sanders classic work “Spiritual Leadership”, he called servanthood “the Master’s master principle.” He says, “Jesus was a revolutionary, not in the guerrilla warfare sense, but in His teaching on leadership.
