Don’t surrender leadership to:

  • outside forces
  • faces
  • farces
  • fences
  • frustrations
  • fantasies
  • fears
  • fatigue
  • faults
  • facts
  • frenzies
  • fates
  • forecasts
  • foes
  • friends
  • fracturing experiences of life
  • flattening out experiences of life

Do surrender leadership to faith.
