Mark Batterson: Not My Circus (S15E23)
I'm excited to welcome my friend, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Mark Batterson, back to the show today! In this episode, we discuss his incredible new book, "Not My Circus: Living with Courage, Conviction, and Compassion in a World of Chaos." After nearly thirty years pastoring just steps away from the halls of power in Washington, DC, Batterson brings hard-won wisdom to the defining challenge of our moment. You’ll learn how to cultivate a non-anxious presence by developing: Holy courage—the boldness to stand firm in your convictions without being controlled by others’ opinions. Spiritual discernment—the sense to know which battles are yours to fight and which ones aren’t. Amazing grace—the ability to engage those you disagree with, maintaining your witness without taking on their anxiety. For anyone ready to stop reflecting culture and start transforming it, Not My Circus offers a road map to escape the cult of conformity—and live for the applause of nail-scarred hands.
