In this course, you will explore how your inner life (oranga‑ā‑roto) shapes and sustains Christian leadership in Aotearoa amid personal and organisational complexity. You will engage four key dimensions of formation: spiritual integrity (ngākau pono), intimacy with God (whakapiri ki te Atua), emotional and moral resilience (manawaroa), and the formation of authentic discipleship (ākonga pono).
Through critical engagement with Scripture, classical, cultural, and contemporary texts, alongside personal reflection, embodied practices, and interdisciplinary perspectives, you will develop a robust theology of the inner life. This learning will invite you to integrate both Pākehā and Māori understandings of spirituality, deepening your awareness of how faith is lived in context.
As a result, you will be supported to cultivate a life deeply rooted in Christ and to grow in Christlike stewardship (tuaritanga) of power—enabling leadership that is faithful, sustainable, and fruitful.
