Thank you Pastor Mark for being a message of hope, especially now.
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, ...
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.
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.
Thank you for your podcast. It helps me gain more knowledge of the Bible as I drive home nigh ...
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)
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 ...
I am following your videos on YouTube in regards to the book of Daniel. I find your teaching sound and I am being blessed through it.
I'd like to thank you guys very much for doing this podcast. Listening has helped me grow so much in my faith. Thank you very much. You guys are doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work. (Comments shortened for length)
Thank you so much for all you do. You will never know how much it means to me.
...Recently I did a search for bible teaching in the form of a podcast on Pandora. I happen[ed] to come upon your podcast "Return to the Word" and knew instantly God led me to the right place. I am very grateful [for] your knowledge and stories. I am a new Christian and have been listening to Billy Graham on Sirius but needed something different. 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.
Hello Pastor Mark! I have listened to your sermons on YouTube. I like them very much and found comfort in them. Also, it brings back memories of when you were a pastor here in Appleton. Will you be putting more teaching on YouTube? I will be listening if you do! Thank you for your ministry, the ministry in the past when you were here, and the ministry which you are doing now. God is good. And He is faithful. We know that! Love in Him, Cathy.
I love the podcast, thank you for holding true to the Word of God...!
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 ...
I really like the preaching/explanation from Pastor Mark! I just found this last week on Pandora search, and I can't stop listening. Praise the Lord!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for your wonderful Return to the Word! I love to listen to it during the day all day. It fills me with more knowledge of my Lord and Savior. Mark Fontecchio is so common sense and easy to listen to and understand. He makes it a joy to take in as much as I can and increase my relationship with my Lord and Savior.
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, 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.
