As leaders, we are faced with challenging situations regularly, whether it’s a difficult decision, having to work through conflict with a friend, family member, or colleague, or having to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. Part of being a good leader is learning to embrace godly resilience.

Vulnerability, however, is an essential part of the character of all great leaders. To be vulnerable is to lower our protective barriers for the sake of being seen, known, and loved, and to create space for others to do the same.
