Leadership creates a specific kind of loneliness no one warns you about. The higher you climb, the fewer peers stand beside you. But that isolation may be less a verdict than an invitation, to stop looking sideways for the answer and start looking up.

A friend asked why he should bother reading the Old Testament. The answer came from an unexpected place: a movie with a twist ending. Because once you know how the story ends, you go back and realize it was there the whole time.

The same situation can look like junk or a masterpiece depending on the angle you’re standing at. Perspective isn’t just about opinion — it’s about which angle you’re willing to move to.

Two kinds of leaders carry the weight very differently. One pushes people toward a destination, the other fills them with purpose. The culture I want to build is rooted in stewardship and a Kingdom mindset, and I'm still learning how to lead from there.

Perfectionism isn't a strength. It's a trap that keeps us from starting. Progress means accepting that the first version won't be the last.
