How do we live focused, purposeful lives in a world of endless opportunities and demands? John Mark explores the power of saying "no" as a spiritual discipline—showing us that Jesus' ability to fulfill His calling wasn't just about what He said yes to, but also about what He said no to. He challenges us to identify our God-given vocation and then ruthlessly eliminate distractions, even good ones, so we can say our deepest "yes" to what truly matters.
