Mark walks through his six-question framework for cutting through vendor pitches, why context matters more than the algorithm, and why the most interesting solutions may come from founders who've never worked i...

23rd March (pm)- Judges 3 v.12-30- Graham Thornton
In this wonderfully applied sermon, PSC church member, Graham Thornton shows how the strange and bloody story of Ehud reveals how God is at work in the messiness of life.
