Markus is the host of Spiritual Life and Leadership, the official podcast for Fuller Theological Seminary's Church Leadership Institute.
In 2021, he released my first book, Beyond Thingification: Helping Your Church Engage in God's Mission, which helps churches and leaders more fully participate in God's mission in the world.
he often speak about the role of suffering in spiritual and leadership formation. Several years ago, he was falsely accused and voted out of my congregation. It was a terribly painful experience, but it made me a healthier and more whole person, pastor, and leader.
he is also a pastor of a small church in rural Southern California which has a vibrant Food Pantry ministry serving a town that struggles with a lot of food insecurity.
