He's one of our favorite's around here! Pastor Mark Batterson is here to talk with us about thinking of our words as giving gifts, the importance of being involved in a local church, and when God incubates a dream for many years. Also, how about that theme of confession we've been having lately?! I'm so grateful for Pastor Mark and his voice in our lives. Be sure to check out his new book Please, Sorry, Thanks: The Three Words That Change Everything.
