Mark Batterson – Speaker, Author, Pastor, Teacher, Faith Visionary.

“There comes a moment when you must quit talking to God about the mountain in your life and start talking to the mountain about your God. You proclaim His power. You declare His sovereignty. You affirm His faithfulness. You stand on His Word. You cling to His promises.”
