This week we talk to author and pastor Mark Batterson. Mark pastors National Community Church in Washington, DC and has authored numerous books including his latest, The Circle Maker. We also unveil a new holiday campaign, try to wrap our minds around a 26-pound gummy python and list the top Anthony Bourdain band names.

Thanks to this week’s sponsors, Blood:Water Mission and The Justice Conference. Help Blood:Water Deck the Stalls this Christmas and check out The Justice Conference in Philadelphia, February 22-23.
