    This quantitative correlational study explored the intersection of Christians in leadership positions who are not in full-time ministerial positions and the transformational nature of discipleship. It focused on determining if a correlation exists between a marketplace Christian leader’s involvement in a discipleship relationship and exhibiting characteristics of servant, transformational, or shared leadership in the marketplace. It did this by examining the concept of discipleship as currently practiced in today’s environment, comparing it with similar terms and practices prevalent in the literature, such as spiritual formation, mentoring, and coaching. It also reviewed three specific leadership styles, arguing that servant, transformational, and shared leadership, as described by Greenleaf (2002), Bass and Riggio (2006), and Pearce and Conger (2003), respectively, are those that Jesus exhibited during his ministry. Further, it evaluated the concept of the marketplace in scripture, arguing that the marketplace is a valid place for ministry and Christian leadership. Building on work done by Atherton (2014), Beckwith (2016b), Brown (2017), Bunkowske (2019), Davis (2014), Ellis (2020), and others, this project found there was a statistically significant correlation between being in a discipleship relationship and exhibiting servant leadership and elements of transformational leadership for marketplace Christian leaders

    Constitutional Law: Search and Seizure—The Role of Police Officer Good Faith in Substantive Fourth Amendment Doctrine—Michigan v. De Fillippo, 443, U.S. 31 (1979)

    This note challenges the Court\u27s implicit assumption that a policeman\u27s good faith reliance is relevant in determining whether the fourth amendment has been violated. That assumption is incompatible with precedent. Prior decisions suggest good faith reliance should not be considered until after the court has established that a violation occurred and applicability of the exclusionary rule is at issue. Without offering a coherent explanation for its departure from precedent, the DeFillippo Court casually added police good faith to the already complex body of substantive search and seizure law. Thus, the decision created yet another dimension of disquieting uncertainty in the doctrine. Moreover, the Court\u27s deference to a police officer\u27s good faith reliance on a substantive law encourages the use of sham substantive offenses to avoid fourth amendment limits. Finally, the Court\u27s emphasis on good faith reliance may misdirect the lower courts, prompting them to substitute the judgments of those who enact and enforce the laws for the disinterested scrutiny of a magistrate
