Mark Hollingsworth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truly a man of many talents, Mark has served as the manager and promoter of Petra during their 80s heyday, and has also worked with artists such as Steve Taylor, Sixpence None The Richer, Smalltown Poets, and others. Mark also served as the Director of Radio Marketing for Compassion International, pioneering the partnering of that organization with touring musicians.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark\u2019s book, Embracing the Gray: A Wing, a Prayer, and a Doubter’s Resolve, takes the reader on a journey of doubt, discovery, and faith.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fascinating conversation finds Mark sharing anecdotes from his storied career. He touches on the founding and development of Petra, his camaraderie with Kerry Livgren, befriending a young Bono, and his work with Compassion International amongst other topics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
