So here’s the deal. My birthday is November 5th. And to celebrate I want to give a reverse birthday gift. I want to give a free copy of In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day to any church planter who emails me before November 5 because I remember what it was like to have zero resource budget as a church planter.

Shoot me an email with your address to mark@theaterchurch.com.

Had a little email dialogue with J.R. Briggs last week. He’s the author of When God says Jump. J.R. asked me a great question: who do you think are some of the most courageous lion chasers in the Christian faith today–famous or not?

I didn’t have to think about it: church planters.

Planting a church is such a quantum risk occupationally, emotionally, and financially. It ranks as one of the scariest things I’ve ever done. I’d honestly like to get a copy of In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day into the hands of every church planter in America. Not sure how to do that. But this is a start. Feel free to spread the word.

Keep chasing lions!
