In this short, 5th installment of Charlie's conversation with Mark Batterson, Mark opens up about the the Capital Turnaround building (which is a 100,000 square foot multi-purpose building and serves as the home of National Community Church).  He discusses how he believes that the church belongs in the middle of the marketplace.   Mark describes how Jesus didn't just hang out at the synagogue but at wells, which were natural gathering places.  To that end, the Capital Turnaround is a place where church and community cross paths.   The church's primary motivation is serving the city Monday through Friday.  They're not just trying to build a church, but instead are blessing a city for the coming generations. The Capital Turnaround is used as so much more than just a weekend gathering place.  It functions as a child development center Monday - Friday, because that's one of the city's greatest needs.  It is used for conferences, concerts, and leadership gatherings as well as a kids ministry space for several organizations, such as Amazon, Axios, NBC, and the DC Government.   And, he discusses the idea for the next development phase of the Capital Turnaround, which is to create a mixed use marketplace that would include a sit down restaurant and be modeled on other types of marketplaces and food halls from other cities.   Ultimately, the vision for the Capital Turnaround would be a place where someone can come to work, eat, play, and pray.  This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1YZV-rp1IA4  To learn more or to follow Mark, check out https://www.MarkBatterson.com   We hope you enjoy this episode, and subscribe to our podcast for a new story each week.  Visit  https://www.storiesfromtheriver.com for more episodes.

In the 4th installment of Charlie's conversation with Pastor and NY Times bestselling author Mark Batterson, Charlie and Mark discuss the benefits of mentorship and appreciating those with wisdom who have preceded us as well as the benefits of long-term, multi-generational thinking.  Mark talks about his mentor Dick Foth and his respect for elders. Mark describes his appreciation for those who have paved the way for us when he states: "We drink from wells we didn't dig; we eat from fields we didn't plant; and we live in houses we didn't build." Mark also shares that he wants to posture himself with people who have been there before.  Mark shares his belief that everybody has a unique anointing and how he wants to bump into that.  And that he believes that everyone is his superior in some way.  And that everyone is fighting a battle he doesn't know about.  Mark shares how his church National Community Church had just inherited a sacred assignment to take over the Easter sunrise service at the Lincoln Memorial.  But, that this sacred assignment was inherited from Pastor Amos Dodge and Capital Church who had plowed the ground and planted seeds for 42 years before NCC was handed the sacred assignment. Mark shares the story of the Capital Turnaround, which they purchased for $29.3M and how much they invested in the foundation as they are thinking in 70 year time horizons in preparing for the benefit of future generations.   Mark shares that faith is seeing through drywall that's not load-bearing and that before you build, sometimes you have to demo.  Mark says that you've gotta have eyes of faith and see past what's already been constructed.  To learn more or to follow Mark, check out https://www.MarkBatterson.com  This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Ybiva9ox95g  We hope you enjoy this episode, and subscribe to our podcast for a new story each week.  Visit  https://www.storiesfromtheriver.com for more episodes.

As the New York Times bestselling author of 23 books and lead pastor of National Community Church, Mark Batterson believes that the foundation of all healthy relationships and successful careers stems from our proficiency in these three words: Please. Sorry. Thanks.  All three of these words require a posture of humility. All three of these words unlock the law of reciprocity and foster connection and understanding. As Mark puts it, “to me, ‘please' is a way of being others-focused and honoring others.  It's going against the tide of entitlement. I don't want to operate in that way. I want to operate in a way that honors others.”   This week, Mark Batterson returns to Typology to discuss how these three powerful words impact leadership, relationships, and a healthy mindset.  We also explore the distinction between self-awareness and self-consciousness, and the role self-awareness plays in allowing us to give a timely “please,” a sincere “sorry,” and a heartfelt “thanks.”   — Mark Batterson is the lead pastor of the National Community Church (NCC) in Washington, D.C.

But I do want to recognize that life doesn't come in nice, neat boxes where every day or every week looks like every other day or every other week. I don't. It's really hard to challenge work and home or vocation and family. I would argue that you're never 100 percent balanced. You're always counterbalancing. 10:13 - Establishing boundaries in dad life 10:34 - Why set life goals? 10:40 -  you won't accomplish one hundred percent of the goals that you don't set. And so faith is being sure of what we hope for, Hebrews 11. And I just think that goal setting can be an expression of faith.  11:54 - One thing I learned is you can't just set the goal, like you got to reverse engineer it and figure out what are the daily habits that are going to get you to those goals. And that's where the magic happens. That's where the hard work habits. And that really is the key to going after those goals.  15:42 - Seven kind of character traits of being the man, playing the man (Episode 146) Virtue #1 Tough Love Virtue #2 Childlike Wonder Virtue #3 Will Power Virtue #4 Raw Passion Virtue #5 True Grit Virtue #6 Clear Vision Virtue #7 Moral Courage 17:04 - prayer does turn parents into prophets and you can shape the destiny of your kids with your prayer life. And they're going to be moments in your life where that's all you've got.  16:22 - "The deepest desire of my heart to be famous in my own home and it's hard to be famous in your own home and you're never home." 18:13 - Draw the circle book - 40 days of prayer 19:21 - Prayer for healing for our friend, Brian.   Episode Links:   Mark Batterson Win The Day dadAWESOME Day FATHERS FOR THE FATHERLESS Make a Donation to dadAWESOME Join the dadAWESOME Prayer Team   Conversation Transcript   https://dadawesome.org/179notes/
