I wanted to use this opportunity to recommend some excellent pieces by my friend Mark!
This collection explores the revolutionary “muddy boots” ministry approach of Jesus as revealed in the Gospel of Mark. You will see how genuine kingdom growth emerges from micro to macro by leaders who follow Christ’s example–embodying muddy boots by living the mission and multiplying their life into others.
