A lot of people talk about DEI as if it’s some new idea, but it’s not. It’s been at the core of God’s story from the beginning.

• Diversity is God’s design.

• Equity is God’s justice.

• Inclusion is the very heart of the gospel.

Desire paths remind us that the people we serve are co-creators of our work, not just recipients. When we let go of rigid assumptions and follow their lead, we create programs that are more relevant, effective, and impactful.

By being intentional about partnerships and funding sources, nonprofits are not just securing financial resources—they are reinforcing their commitment to integrity, ethical impact, and long-term change.

Kindness, when lived out with integrity and action, is one of the simplest yet most important tools for change.

The best leaders never stop serving. They don’t see service as a stepping stone to leadership but as the foundation of it.

Leadership isn’t always about stepping forward—sometimes it’s about stepping back and making space for the people who have been leading all along. This blog is a space to explore that philosophy in action.
