Spiritual Life and Leadership

Markus Watson

Ministry leadership is about more than just growing your church or organization. It’s about participating in God’s mission in the world.

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.
