Hello, Mark.

I hardly know how to start this message.  As a life long child of the Father, I have seen the Word watered down gradually over the years, until we have what it has become in most churches today. It was so refreshing that God led me to your podcast on Pandora.  Your knowledge of the Word impresses me. But not as much as your love of the Father and your willingness to speak the truth of the Word. I listen to your teachings every morning during my workouts. It's like going to Bible ...

Great teaching of the Word.

Thanks for the more frequent uploads as of late. Even if only one is saved by your ministering the Gospel of Jesus and sharing studies of God's Word, it is worth it! One is worth the cheers and applause of the angels. You led me to renewing my faith, and my true rebirth in Christ Jesus. Thank you for your dedication and love for God and His commandments! It is flowing from you like a river of living water! God bless and Godspeed, brother!

I drive a truck, with many hours spent on the road I have wasted time with mindlessness until recently I found..... no God brought your ministry into my life. I now spend my time with the words of your Bible study immersed in God's Word, instructions, and love. Thank you for answering God's calling to spread His eternal Word. May God bless you fully and in His perfect wi ...

Thank you Pastor Mark for being a message of hope, especially now.

Thank you for bringing out the true meaning of the Word. So much more of this is needed, especially at the top, so it can roll downhill. Thank you.

Mark is a fantastic teacher that simply shows us what the Bible says and does a great job explaining why. Thank you, Mark!

Hi Mark. I would just like to tell you that your sermons are just this side of fantastic. I've listened to all you have on Spotify, some more than once. God has given you a truly good gift and I have liked the Bible Study as well (waiting for more). I wish you were still in Wisconsin, for that is closer for me than Alaska but I will listen all the same. Thanks. Sean

I have been listening to your sermons via the Pandora App every week (or when there's a new sermon). I appreciate how you don't sugarcoat the Word. I appreciate how you remain humble (acknowledge your sin(s) too). I appreciate how your message doesn't sound like an advert using Christ and salvation as a selling point. I just wanted to really say I appreciate all your work. And thank you. I felt moved to encourage you and I send all my love. Your congregation is blessed. (Comments shortened for ...

Pastor Mark’s teaching influenced my then atheist husband. My husband started listening to him during the height of the Pandemic lock-down. I have been saved and a believer for years now but it was actually my husband who introduced me to this podcast. Pastor Mark’s teaching and situational stories speaks to my soul. Definitely an instrument of God. Now my husband and I are part of a growing church and are also serving. Just like what Pastor Mark said on his study of the book of Philippians, ...

Just a word of thanks for your podcasts. I found you on iHeartRadio, knowing that God works all things for His glory. I am thankful to have found your ministry.

My wife and I live here in Southern California and attend Calvary Chapel in Rancho Cucamonga (yes there is a place, as Jack Benny used to joke).

So in closing, we appreciate the Word as it goes forth, and may the Lord continue to bless. I have been listening for a couple of days, and just finished, "What Does God think about You" ...

I would like to thank your ministry for providing a clear, informative, and thorough teaching of the Word of God. I listen to your podcasts as I work, as a landscaper. I grew up in a Southern Baptist Church, and have gradually drifted away as life started happening. Finding your podcast was definitely in God’s plan for me! Thank You....

Thank you for your radio ministry. It helped me tremendously to experience emotional healing through Scripture at a time when my family was pressuring me to pursue what would have been ineffective healing through medications. Thank you.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to listen to your wonderful ministry.

I listen to your podcast every day at work, at home, and before church. I have listened to all of them more than once. I want you to know that your understanding of the Word and your commitment to the faith is such an encouragement and a blessing. I am learning to fall in love with scripture and Jesus all over again through your works and dedication to Christ. With tears in my eyes, I want to thank you for allowing me to worship God with you every day.  It has changed my life and given me a ...

Thank you for connecting, Mark. I have been listening to Return to the Word on Pandora and I enjoy every sermon. Thank you for all that you do in the name of our Lord, God Bless you!

Thank you! I really enjoy your podcasts.

I felt the need to reach out to you as we ground our beliefs on the same basis. I adore your podcast and listen often. The podcast from 05/03/2016 you concluded by asking your listeners to reach out and say hi! So here I am listening for the first time, responding to you years later and saying hi from New York. Thank you, I look forward to the episodes to come. (Comments shortened for length)

Well done. Mark, you have a remarkable talent for teaching the Gospel. The best reading and interpretation relating to our contemporary lives I've heard anywhere.

The Return to the Word podcasts are so educational and wonderful for me. I don't know how many times I have listened to the John 3:16 episode, but it always lifts me up. I thank God for what you do and can't wait to meet you; if not down here, then in Heaven.

Thanks for all you do.
