Spiritual Life and Leadership
Ministry leadership is about more than just growing your church or organization. It’s about participating in God’s mission in the world. But how can leaders know God’s mission or their unique place in it? Faithful ministry leadership is rooted in a life of deep and abiding faithfulness to Jesus. In “Spiritual Life and Leadership,” Markus Watson and his guests explore what it means to be faithful leaders whose ministry flows from their ever-deepening relationship with God.

295. How to Energize Leadership by Seeking New Voices, a Quick Converstion with Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson
•
Markus Watson
Learn how breaking out of your comfort zone and embracing new perspectives can transform your leadership and help dismantle bias in your church.
Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Erin Devers in Ep. 282, The Cost of Bias in the Church:
“One of the strategies for reducing bias is to go bigger, to widen your perspective.”
THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
- People tend to hold onto their biases because they find comfort and safety in the familiar.
- Leaders confuse discomfort with genuine danger, which prevents them from widening their perspectives.
- Leaders can intentionally broaden their outlook by seeking out diverse voices and saying yes to experiences that feel scary.
- Leaders maintain vibrancy and effectiveness by practicing humility and curiosity rather than clinging to expertise.
- Interacting with people from different backgrounds energizes leaders and equips them to lead change more confidently.
