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.

Send me a text! I’d love to know what you're thinking!
What happens when a couple of Hawaiian fisherman hit King Kamehameha over the head with a canoe paddle so hard that the paddle breaks? You get the Law of the Splintered Paddle.
THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
- While on vacation in Hawaii, Markus came across a figure of King Kamehameha at a gift shop.
- Markus got curious about King Kamehameha, so he did some Google research.
- King Kamehameha is known for unifying the Hawaiian Islands about two hundred years ago.
- Markus tells the story of the Law of the Splintered Paddle.
- The Law of the Splintered Paddle, instituted by King Kamehameha was intended to protect the weak and powerless from predators.
- The Law of the Splintered Paddle and the way in which it was instituted, are a reflection of shalom—even though King Kamehameha was not a Christian.
- Where in your life do you see shalom emerging? How can you support it? Are you called to participate in it?
