20. Serve Others Present your life as a living sacrifice, responding in graciousness and hospitality Jon Acuff wrote a great post yesterday that basically says you can tell if you’re a leader with one sentence.

World-class speakers on leadership from both the church and non-church worlds. It’s going on right now (August 5th – 6th). I just discovered that the Communications [...]
