Perhaps one of the greatest sources of inspiration has most likely been unwittingly provided by this man.

Mark is an author, his books include Your Church is Too Safe: Why Following Christ Turns the World Upside-Down. He regularly contributes to the Leadership Journal and Christianity Today.
I first met Mark in the spring of the year 2000.
I had received the Miracle of Sobriety in the church building where he had come to pastor. Only it wasn’t in the pews, rather it was the church basement. And not delivered on wing and harp but by a black 4×4 Chevy 1 ton Silverado and Shane C. who had some twelve steppin’ to do.
The Godly presence in that body of Christs Church within that community continued to be fortified by Pastor Buchanan’s blatant and unabashed Love of God and His people.
And where my own mere flicker of fire in the belly had been stoked to a sustaining and sustainable vitality.
“MEETING THE EYE
You’ll probably find
that it suits your book
to be a bit cleverer
than you look.
Observe that the easiest
method by far
is to look a bit stupider
than you are.”― Piet Hein
