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 ...
I just want to take a moment to write to Return to the Word and say thank you. I have learned so much about the Word of God through the podcast. Give all the glory to the Lord. Thank you again for everything you all do.
Dear Sirs,
I just listened to an excellent teaching on John 1:1-5 and am very impressed. I do two Bible studies a week at the Lower Buckeye Jail (Arizona's largest) and have done so for the last 9 years. What I heard from your Pastor/Teacher deeply touched me and it’s the stuff I wish to convey to both the inmates and those attending a weekly Bible study I'm involved in at a neighbor's house every Tuesday evening.
Hi Mark. I live in Battle Creek, Michigan and I found your sermon series on Pandora. I love the Lord and I love deepening my faith and experience in Him. I just want to give you a very sincere and deep thank you for walking a life of faith. I know that you have spent time with God because I can hear His voice through yours. You're a good man and I have listened to several teachings over the last few days and I love the way that you are able to articulate what you're saying with metaphors. Very ...
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 ...
Return to the Word has to be my most influential Bible study that I follow. The lense that Pastor Mark sees and uses to share the gift of the Gospel with us with has to be the closest to a true heart for God that I have heard in my entire life. Thank you for sharing your gift with God's sons and daughters. I pray God continues to use you for the glory of Him in His king ...
May the Word of Jesus Christ continue to be preached all over the world. I thank God I found your station in Pandora, and I can’t stop list ...
Thank you, Mark. I always tell everyone that God has given me a true gift, which is Return to the Word Bible Study [and] to download it to their phones, but to me you changed my life through your teaching. It’s truly a blessing. I love it. Thank you again. I have definitely turned to Christ. God bless you and your family.
Dear Brother in Christ,
Thank you so much for your wonderful message of hope delivered at Pioneer Peak Baptist Church. We are sending a love offering to you to be used in any way – personal or for your ministry – that you see fit and proper.
We look forward to hearing more of your messages online as well as any time you return to give a sermon at Pioneer Peak. God bless you and your family.
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)
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.
Dear Brother,
Praise the Lord! Thanks for sharing your website with us. Kindly always remember our requests in your prayers. We are always in need of your assistance and your prayers.
With much love and prayers,
Thank you pastor for being such a wonderful messenger that articulates the Word so precisely.
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 just recently found your ministry site. I've enjoyed listening to your sermons. Thankful for all of the teaching on grace. Take Care. God bless you.
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 ...
Mark is a fantastic teacher that simply shows us what the Bible says and does a great job explaining why. Thank you, Mark!
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" ...
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!
