Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!In this episode, Markus Watson and Tod Bolsinger explore what it really means to lead with care—especially when consensus isn't possible and someone might get hurt. Tod brings his insight on adaptive leadership, highlighting the tension between seeking unity and making tough, missional choices that can disappoint or cause pain. Together, Markus and Tod reflect on how Jesus modeled mission-centered leadership, caring for people while staying true to his calling—even when it meant letting others down.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Marc Schelske in Ep. 258: Walking the Path of Other-Centered Leadership:“If I really love all the people that are impacted by this decision, then this decision has to be consensual."THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Leaders foster togetherness when they involve everyone in the decision-making process.Healthy leadership accepts that some decisions will inevitably cause pain or disappointment.Groups achieve consensus when everyone commits to follow the chosen path, even amidst disagreement.Leadership requires balancing love for people with dedication to the organization's mission.Leaders best serve their communities when they offer care to those most affected by painful decisions.Click HERE to get my FREE online course, BECOMING LEADERS OF SHALOM.

This week, Tim is joined by author Marc Schelske to discuss his book Walking Otherward: Forty Meditations on Following Jesus' Path of Other-Centered, Co-Suffering Love. This forty-day devotional invites readers to journey with Jesus in the final weeks leading to His crucifixion, reflecting on the transformative power of kenotic (self-emptying) love. More than just a Lenten guide, this book provides a deeply theological and reflective approach to exchanging self-centered ambition for the radical, other-centered love of Christ.Tune in as Marc shares insights from his writing process, shaped by conversations with Dr. Bradley Jersak and a foreword by Brian Zahnd.Stay Connected with Marc:

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!True ministry leadership isn't about power; it's about love in action. It's about stepping into the self-giving, co-suffering way of Jesus, even when it feels counterintuitive. This kind of leadership doesn't seek control but embraces humility, sacrifice, and deep connection with those we serve.In this episode, Marc Schelske, pastor of Bridge City Community Church and author of Walking Otherward, unpacks how embracing this kind of love reshapes our leadership, strengthens our churches, and helps us navigate the challenges of ministry with grace and wisdom.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Marc Schelske introduces the concept of other-centered, co-suffering love as a key aspect of following Jesus.The phrase "other-centered, co-suffering love" encompasses love that is conscious of others and willing to bear their burdens.Marc Schelske emphasizes the significance of Philippians 2 and Jesus' journey to Jerusalem as examples of this love.Jesus' journey to Jerusalem symbolizes a path that is not self-centered but oriented towards others.Self-centered, ego-defending ambition contrasts sharply with the way Jesus modeled leadership.Marc Schelske reflects on his own leadership transition, focusing on how he learned to disconnect identity from numerical success.Leadership driven by other-centered, co-suffering love requires holding space for others to process change at their own pace.Marc Schelske explains the importance of allowing time in decision-making processes to foster consensual and loving leadership.The fear of death and discomfort often drives the desire for control and power within leadership.Marc Schelske discusses creating communities where multiple perspectives can coexist without division.Churches must embrace a posture of vulnerability and humility in their leadership practices.Marc Schelske highlights that love acts by consent, meaning decisions should include space for honest dialogue and dissent.Co-suffering love challenges traditional notions of leadership by prioritizing presence over power.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Marc Schelske:Website - https://marcalanschelske.com/Bridge City Community ChurchBooks mentioned:Walking Otherward, by Marc SchelskeFalling Upward, by Richard RohrRelated episodes:206.

Collin Hansen serves as vice president for content and editor in chief of The Gospel Coalition, as well as executive director of The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics. His new book is a biography of Tim Keller titled, Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation. Today, Collin shares how studying theology shaped him, his grief at sin and struggle to grow, and the consolation of knowing Jesus as a friend. We also talk about his friend and mentor Tim Keller including his influences from a variety of traditions and writers. Learning from across Christianity's traditions helps us grow to be more well-rounded, empathetic, and joyful. Collin's story shows us that follow the steps of the greats of the faith leads to our growth, too. Stories Collin shared: Growing up in South Dakota in a Methodist family The revival that changed his life Being thrust into leadership in youth group Going to college at Northwestern University and the Trinity Evangelical Divinity School The theological development of seeing Christ in the Old Testament Pursuing rhythms and patterns of behavior for transformation How his perspective changed after conversion Experiencing grief at his own sin and trying to understand why nothing changes Going to therapy and how that helped him Jesus as a friend and the disciples Writing as part of his life as long as he can remember Getting to know Tim Keller through the Gospel Coalition Why he decided to write a book about Tim Keller's spiritual formation Why it's important to learn from diverse sources A Kingdom of God view of suffering in this life Great quotes from Collin: Unless I've tasted His goodness for myself, then clearly something has not happened. None of us has a friend like Jesus. If it's not a faith that I'm willing to lose my life over, it can't be the faith that's in the Bible. We're more likely to see blind spots today if we're learning from a hundred people than if we're learning from two people from a specific era.

He wants our whole story. Jesus does some of his best work in the ditch. The Church has to become an unconditionally loving, confidential, non-condemning, non-judgemental community where we all admit that we're wounded, where we're meeting Christ in the wounded, where we welcome the wounded.

With the help of some trusted friends he began the arduous process of emotional and spiritual recovery.

"The number one self-medication in the US today for discomfort around emotions is religion."  So says Marc Schelske,  pastor and author of The Wisdom of Your Heart -- Discovering the God-Given Purpose and Power of Your Emotions. In this interview, Marc explains the value of our emotions when we discover that God is able to use them to bring us to maturity and to understand His will. The concept of 'useful emotions' is valuable for small-group church life where emotions are not easily hidden or avoided. Those who have been in relational church settings know the awkward silences and the squirming in place when things get "emotional." This spirited discussion encourages small-group fellowships to loosen up and listen to the wisdom of your heart. This podcast is a part of a longer interview. In the other half, Marc talks about his publishing experience.
