"Imagine a friend who earnestly tells you that he thinks men and women are equally good leaders. But when he talks about men's leadership skills, he places his palm at eye-level, and when he talks about women's leadership skills, he places his palm a bit lower, at mouth-level.

But when change becomes not only desirable but also urgently necessary, this way of being no longer serves us. Bishop T.D. Jakes illuminates...
