Mark Smeby

Mark believes hope offers us a new perspective on everything. And nothing brings him joy like the opportunity to share hope-whether it's on stage at a church somewhere in the Midwest, a school in Florida, through a book like "The Messenger," on the airwaves with his Live Hope Minute daily radio feature, or behind bars at a local prison. Someone going through an intense, personal challenge might "accidentally" stumble across something that Mark creates--a song, a blog, a tweet--that ends up giving them a glimpse of hope. Amazing.
