Richard Foster Best Quotations

There is a sense of call to take leadership roles. You're serving people and submitting to God as best you can.

Leadership is an act of submission to God. To be a leader means listening to all kinds of people and situations. Out of that listening, we are hoping to discern the mind of God as best we can. This is the price of leadership - it's an act of sacrifice. So leadership is part and parcel of the work of submission to God.
