There is a paradox in Christian leadership. By definition, a leader is the person out front, the one making the decisions, the one who’s actions affect those around him or her. However, in Christian leadership, we are exhorted to be followers and servants of all, qualities that are opposite to what our society values as a “good leader.” In this series we will look at Mark’s gospel and develop a definition of leadership shaped by the phrase: “a life that matters.” We will discover that every Christ-follower is called to leadership that shapes and influences their world by the power and authority of Jesus Christ.
