Marcus shares what he loves most about being a pastor, the unique spirit and community of St. John, and why an “ordinary” Christian life rooted in love and contentment is actually extraordinary. The conversation closes with a pastoral word of hope for anyone feeling weary, reminding listeners that real hope is found in being loved by God and loving others in return.
