Summary
Some stories remind us that God writes the best love stories—and this episode is one of them. In this heartwarming and insightful conversation, Mark R. Worden takes us on a journey through faith, calling, and the unexpected ways God weaves lives together. Mark shares how he and his wife, Connie, first connected through books—yes, books! What began as a simple exchange of Christian titles in an online author group became a friendship… and then a marriage built on purpose, ministry, and a shared love for storytelling. We also explore Mark’s transition from missionary life to becoming an author, his powerful devotional HE IS!

If you're a lover of Christian books, faith stories, or God-ordained connections, this is one episode you’ll absolutely treasure. --- Mark is giving away free copy of his book to our listeners.
