The intersection of leadership theory, research, and spiritual formation (in the form of mentoring and formational worship) is narrow at best, but it is a crucial meeting point for Christian leaders. In this assignment, you will write about the intersection of leadership theory, research, and spiritual formation.

Directions:

Write a paper (1,500-1,750 words) that discusses the intersection of leadership theory, research, and spiritual formation. Include the following in your paper:

1. A statement of the role of biblical exegesis and leadership theory research in structuring and applying your personal theology of leadership. (This item benchmarks program competency 10.2 — explore the theology of leadership.)
2. A biblically founded and research-based statement of the influence of mentoring and formational worship on the actions of Christian ministry leaders.
3. A statement of how leadership theory and academic research combined with the disciple-making activities of mentoring and formational worship influence spiritual direction and ministry. (This item benchmarks program competency 10.1 — conceptualize disciple-making in the leadership context of spiritual direction and ministry.)
