The Discerning Leader Podcast Mark Booker | Discerning God in Seasons of Waiting: Advent and Christmastide, Episode 4
Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Mark Booker
“Waiting on God is resisting the impulse to take matters into my own hands.” – Mark Booker
Mark Booker serves as the Senior Pastor at Park Street Church in downtown Boston. Mark joins Steve to share about waiting in his leadership and personal life. Many of us like to bring change and make things happen. Advent puts the spotlight on the reality that we are a waiting people. We often grasp for what is tangible; what we can control or manipulate. Mark reminds us that waiting looks like resisting the impulse to fix things through our own means. Waiting is about trusting in God’s promises, even when evidence points in all kinds of different directions.
