Quotes from Mark:
If your dream doesn't scare you, it's too small.
If God has called you to do something, anything less is disobedience.
Be the best leader you can be right where you are.
Don't focus on church growth; focus on personal growth.
If you stay out of the way, God will build his Church & his Kingdom.
