SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
"I am concerned about culture and where we're headed. It seems like everybody is blaming everybody for everything...And so I would flip it and say, this is our moment to stand in the gap as peacemakers, grace givers, truth tellers, tone setters. We are here for such a time as this, for such a place as this is... You need light when it's dark and you need salt in a moment like this.
—Mark Batterson
