Mark Batterson is the founding pastor of National Community Church in Washington, DC, and best-selling author of several books, including his most recent Primal. I always appreciate the chance to sit down with Mark, because he constantly challenges me to read more, create more, lead more, and live more. His next great adventure in a few days- swimming from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco! Amazing. In this conversation we talk about his latest book, the great commandment vs. the great commission, the need to stay focused as a leader, and some new projects he is working on.

Part two tomorrow.
