There comes a moment when you must quit talking to God about the mountain in your life and start talking to the mountain about your God. You proclaim His power. You declare His sovereignty. You affirm His faithfulness. You stand on His Word. You cling to His promises.

Mark Batterson
Mark Batterson (* 1969) ist ein US-amerikanischer pfingstlich-evangelikaler Pastor und Bestsellerautor, der die National Community Church in Washington, D.C. leitet. Er steht für einen handlungsorientierten Glauben und wurde vor allem durch Bücher wie The Circle Maker bekannt, die zu kühnem Gebet und dem mutigen Verfolgen großer Ziele ermutigen. Während Bibelleser seine motivierenden Impulse schätzen, sehen theologische Kritiker in manchen seiner Gebetskonzepte außerbiblische Einflüsse und Anklänge an ein Wohlstandsevangelium.
