God bless you guys. You have truly inspired and encouraged me so much.
Hi Mr. Fontecchio,
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. Mostly, I am just so glad (I cannot even really tell you how glad) to have discovered that there are men out there teaching the truth--men like you and Mr. Hixson. We have felt alone for so long. I cannot tell you what it means to me just to know you are there. Thank you for all the material you have available on your website that we can use and learn from. It is a blessing to us. Blessings to you and yours in C ...
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 ...
I love the podcast, thank you for holding true to the Word of God...!
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, ...
I’ve been listening on Pandora for 6 months just discovered you on Facebook. Powerful stuff especially during these times and when church was closed. I love Mark's approach and the way he delivers his message. The Word doesn’t lie.
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 ...
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 came across your radio program and I have been so blessed. I just started listening recently and I believe that God has been trying to get my attention. Your bible teachings have cleared up a lot of things I've had struggles with. I want to grow deeper in God's grace and truth. (Comments shortened for length)
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" ...
Dear Pastor Mark,
You do not know me, but God used you to save me. I am 53 years old. I have been a bad person and have done some very bad things all my adult life. Just recently, my sister moved to Texas, where I live. She has been walking with the Lord for some time. She would preach to me every time she saw me, and I would listen. One day, we were eating dinner, and she said I should get baptized. I thought about it in my head. That night, I had a bad experience. Something visited me, and ...
Every time I listen to your teaching from the Bible, I gain more insight as to the meaning of the text. The Bible is not just text to be read or listened to, but to be understood in the context of who is speaking, who is being addressed, where is it taking place, time period, etc. These are brought out in your messages. Thank you for the sound doctrine that is being taught at Return to the Word Ministries. The Bible is just as relevant today as it was when it was ...
I just wanted to say thank you for providing your teachings! I’ve been listening to your podcasts, and they have greatly impacted my life. I grew up in a Christian household, but I would consider myself a lukewarm Christian trying to return to the Word. My faith in God is big. I know He is the One and Only and I would be nothing without Him. I feel my faith and love growing each and every day. I’ve been leaning a lot on your podcast to understand the Bible and learn more about our Lord. I ...
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to listen to your wonderful ministry.
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 ...
Your Bible study really means a lot to me. I am a young Christian at 41 years old. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your lessons! They have helped me grow stronger as a soldier for Christ and brought me closer to our Savior Jesus Chri ...
I listen to the Pandora podcasts every single night! Please keep them coming.
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.
