Words. Words. Words. Mark, Show Your Work.

Mark Stephens has a new tone: less “feel sorry for me” and more “admire what I survived.” But beneath thousands of words about truth, repentance, character and fruit, one thing is still missing—specific accountability. Words are easy. Mark, show your work.
