To become a doulos of Christ, it all begins with an effort to grow in biblical literacy and accountability to God's instruction. From there, cultivating watchfulness and caring for "the least of these." As a doulos in God's household, Dn. Sean Reid reminds us to lead as one under authority and to practice offering the "first fruits" to the Lord who so graciously provides. Dn. Sean is owner ofArrowhead Coaching and Facilitation Solutions and serves the St. Maria of Paris Mission in Hamilton, ON.

Jesus declares in Mark 10:44, "Whoever would would be first among you must be slave (doulos) of all." Hollie Benton, executive director of the Orthodox Christian Leadership Initiative, interviews Fr. Marc Boulos to search the meaning of doulos in the Greek New Testament and its implications for Christian servant leaders. Fr. Marc is author of Torah to the Gentiles: St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians, co-host of The Bible as Literature Podcast, and pastors St. Elizabeth Orthodox Church in St. Paul, MN.  He is an IT executive for a global company based in St. Paul.
