About this episode

"This could be our finest moment. This could be the moment not of our death but of our rebirth."

John Mark challenges us to dream again about what the Church can and should be in our cultural moment. He invites us to re-examine our Rule of Life as we think about being a counter-culture amidst the secular mainstream.


Key Scripture Passage: Psalm 80
