About Me
I am Mark Ward. I currently work as a YouTuber and web designer. Before going out on my own, I was an editor for Crossway, a writer/editor and presenter for Logos Bible Software, and a Bible textbook author for BJU Press.
I have written several books, including Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible, which comes “highly recommended” by D.A. Carson.
My family attends Emmanuel Baptist Church of Mount Vernon, WA, where we serve in various capacities.
I am also the president of the Bible Faculty Summit, a small annual colloquium for biblical scholars.
A few more tidbits
- I got to know my lovely wife in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, and Lithuania on the 2006 Musical Mission Team. We have three children between the ages of 0 and 100.
- My interests include reading, hermeneutics, Bible translation(s), language, NT textual criticism, epistemology, biblical theology, biblical worldview, Bible typography, a cappella choral music, barbershop, and ultimate frisbee once a week (I’m a handler, and there’s nothing like a huck that hits your receiver in stride for a score, or a curving flick that goes out of bounds and back in, hitting your receiver in the end zone at just the spot where he is running flat-out).
- All the bills that aren’t paid by YouTube supporters, online teaching, and writing/editorial for biblical studies projects are covered by my work at Forward Design. I love serving churches; email me if your church website is not an accurate or welcoming front door for potential visitors.
- My wife is a micro-urban flower farmer, and her Blackburn Gardens has brought a great deal of joy into our lives. We’re surrounded almost year-round with some of the most beautiful of God’s creations.
