Pastor Mark in Church Executive Magazine

The September edition of Church Executive just arrived, featuring Pastor Mark and the ministry of Mars Hill Church.

I was raised going to church every Sunday. I thought I was a Christian because I was really good at following rules and thought I was an expert on Jesus. But the personal, life-changing relationship wasn’t there.
This seemed to work for me in middle school, [...]
