We are contradictions

More from Leading With a Limp,

"As leaders, we are called to be PROPHETS who arouse desire, PRIESTS who connect people to one another and to God, and KINGS who protect and provide for their people. But at the same time all of us leaders are false prophets, fake priests, and sham kings who need new desire, reconciliation, and courage. Oddly, it is in leading others to truth that we find our souls more wholeheartedly wanting what we offer to others and what we can find only in the perfect PROPHET, PRIEST and KING: Jesus."

Admitting where I have been false, fake and a sham as a student ministry pastor has been one of the most difficult things I've ever done this past week.
