Joining us today on the podcast is Lead Pastor of National Community Church located on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., as well as New York Times bestselling author of 24 books, Mark Batterson. In today’s conversation we will unpack Mark’s newest book entitled, “A Million Little Miracles: Rediscover the God who is Bigger than Big, Closer than Close, and Gooder than Good” to help remind you of the millions of miracles God performs everyday and inspire you to live with a clearer sense of identity and purpose. Mark puts it this way, “Think you’ve never experienced a miracle? With all due respect, you have never not. In fact, you are one!”There never has been—and there never will be—anyone else like you. That isn’t a testament to you. It’s a testament to the God who created you. Your fingerprint, eyeprint, and voiceprint are unlike anyone else’s. Simply put, you matter to God. However, most of us take everyday miracles for granted, including the one that stares back at us in the mirror. It’s time to take them for gratitude. Why is that so important? Because whatever you don’t turn into praise turns into pride. The miracle of life becomes mundane. We get so wrapped up in our own little world, we end up worshipping a god who looks like us, acts like us, and thinks like us. It’s no wonder we’ve lost our wonder. But there is a way to recapture holy curiosity! In today’s conversation as well as littered throughout the book, A Million Little Miracles, Mark reveals three miraculous truths that awaken us to carpe wonder for the Creator and His creation:
1. God Is Bigger Than We Think—we can rest in His wisdom and strength
2. God Is Closer Than We Realize—we never have to do life alone
3. God Is Better Than We Imagine—we can reclaim our childlike wonder
My friends, a million little miracles are waiting to be discovered, including the miracle called you.
