Leaders come in different capacities and different stages. All are broken. Some are still hiding their brokenness. Some are in the process of discovering it. Some are working hard to fix themselves. Some have finally given up. Some are experiencing the power and spirit of God working through their openness about their brokenness. Some are on a second round of the above on a deeper level. Some have learned how to choose to suffer from another person. Some are experiencing the Spirit working through their being than their doing. Some leaders are learning how to give up all that they found meaningful in their doing and being. The things that formed their identity begin to fail. They are undone. They begin to accept that they will enter into that good night with nothing except the hope of Christ.
