The Mark Clark Podcast occasionally features guests who bring something genuinely valuable to the table — authors, thinkers, and practitioners helping people engage faith more deeply.

primarily a teaching podcast — guests are intentional and selective
Most episodes of The Mark Clark Podcast are Mark’s sermons from Bayside Church — verse-by-verse teaching that helps listeners engage the Bible seriously and apply it to real life. The show has built a loyal, engaged audience of 385K+ all-time plays precisely because it stays focused on that mission.
Guests appear occasionally and intentionally. When Mark does bring someone on, it’s because their work, research, or story adds something the teaching alone can’t — a new lens, a deeper dive, or a perspective his audience genuinely needs to hear.
what mark looks for
guests who bring something real to a thoughtful audience
authors & thought leaders
You’ve written something worth reading — a book, body of work, or research that engages faith, theology, culture, or the big questions people are actually asking.
pastors & ministry leaders
You lead a church, organization, or ministry and have something to say that’s genuinely useful for people navigating faith in the real world — not just for other leaders.
apologists & thinkers
You engage faith intellectually — wrestling with the hard questions around science, philosophy, history, or culture — and you can do it in a way that’s accessible, not just academic.
practitioners with a story
You’ve lived something, built something, or navigated something that gives you a perspective on faith and life that Mark’s audience would benefit from hearing firsthand.
