About Markus Watson

I teach churches how to get clear on what God is up to in their communities so they can help their people participate with God in the healing of the world. My areas of expertise are leading churches in a changing world, preaching and teaching, and spiritual formation. About My Podcast, Spiritual Life and Leadership Ministry leadership is not easy in the twenty-first century. The pressure to grow our churches or organizations can be suffocating. We want to make a difference in the world, but we don\'t know how to serve a world that seems to be changing every day. Next thing you know, we feel like failures because we don\'t know what to do. The Spiritual Life and Leadership podcast is intended to help ministry leaders develop a healthy inner life of union with Jesus so that they can lead in a healthy way in their outer life. With guests like Tod Bolsinger, Michael Frost, Alan Hirsch, Tara Beth Leach, Jay Bakker, Chuck DeGroat, and Andy Crouch, Spiritual Life and Leadership will help you build a strong foundation for healthy ministry leadership.
