About this listen
When Mark Batterson was 22 years old, his church plant in Chicago failed.
“It was embarrassing. It was discouraging. It was a little confusing, to be honest,” Mark said.
However, God used that closed door to redirect Mark to start a church plant in Washington, D.C.—this time with a very different outcome. Today, he’s pastored National Community Church for nearly 30 years and launched Kingdom-focused businesses to help people in his city.
“I want people to hear my heart here that prayer is not outlining our agenda to God. It's about God outlining his agenda to us.”
Hear Mark share his story and more Biblical wisdom on this episode of GPS: God. People. Stories.
