In this episode of We Are Vineyard, Jay talks with Mark Batterson about the value of failing as a church planter, some of the realities of building a church in a transient city, and the things they would tell their younger selves about church leadership. Mark also shares about using their church property to engage the community and the way the Lord has multiplied the ministries they’ve planted and watered.
