Sometimes we take good advice. Sometimes we don’t. What about biblical exhortations? Take the following, for example: “always [be] prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Pet 3:15). This instruction makes a lot of sense to a Christian.

And yet at the same time, sin is still at work in our flesh.
Anything worth doing is worth doing badly: A chapter from Wisdom in Leadership

Doing things well and developing new leaders are both valuable and necessary objectives. The trouble is that these two agendas often clash.
