It’s tough and it’s exhausting. We don’t always know how to receive or give it in a healthy way.

We do not have to be afraid of being a servant or being a leader. Regardless of our historical, cultural, and life experiences, Jesus is our model of a servant leader.

We all have a ‘heart’ language, the language in which we think, feel, and express ourselves most freely. I hope we all have opportunity to worship God in our heart language.
