Stories from the Strand: Mark Buckley on Prayer, Faith, and Divine Appointments

Join Shannon Bream as she welcomes author Mark Buckley to discuss his remarkable book, Stories from the Strand: Do You Need Prayer? After losing his job, Mark asked God a simple question: what do you want me to do with this time? That night he dreamed of a T-shirt that read “Do You Need Prayer?” and within days found himself walking the Strand in Oceanside, California, shaking so hard he had to ask God just to get him out of the car. Five years and over 6,000 prayers later, the stories he’s collected are nothing short of extraordinary.  Mark describes himself simply as a Bluetooth speaker for Christ; he just shows up and lets the Holy Spirit do the talking. Honest about his own battles with depression and six suicide attempts, Mark’s story is a powerful reminder that God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called, one step of obedience at a time.
