Don’t Let Ambition Keep You from Leading Like Jesus

The blog post explores Mark 10:35–45, focusing on the disciples’ misunderstanding of Jesus’ leadership. The author reflects on a conversation with a film crew about this passage, highlighting how the disciples were confused about their role in following Jesus. Jesus had already spoken about his upcoming death and resurrection, yet the disciples still struggled to grasp the true nature of leadership.

The author emphasizes that Jesus’ leadership is not about power or status but about service and sacrifice. This contrasts with the disciples’ initial expectations, which were rooted in ambition and recognition. The post encourages readers to examine their own motivations when called to lead.

The blog also mentions a video and a series of devotionals available through GCU’s Theology Commons. These resources provide deeper insights into the passage and the broader context of the book of Mark. The author invites readers to engage with these materials for a fuller understanding of Jesus’ teachings on leadership.
