Mark joins us for an interview that almost did not happen, we almost lost Mark 4 days prior to recording - hear Mark recount a very real and raw account of a very near death experience and the lessons that he understood as a result.

Mark overcame childhood illness to become pro athlete as a pro wrestler for Ted Turner’s WCW, for the NWA and AWA. After wrestling he went into ministry. He used his wrestling background to build an audience to help individuals find peace and purpose. Has worked with thousands of teens and families across America. Works with abused and abandoned children. He and his wife are therapeutic parents for troubled children. Mark is involved in film production and writing. He creates awareness of homeless kids and does Foster Care. Finally, Mark has also designed equipment for Special Forces and big supporter of the Armed Forces.

Mark's book: Wrestling with Demons: The battles of a NWA, AWA and CWF Star

A professional wrestler projects his father's abuse into the ring. The racism of his upbringing and his pain is challenged by his new Christian faith. Can he overcome the pain of his past?
