Mark J. The Poet
Guest Speaker
April 27, 2025

Mark J. combines speaking with spoken word poetry. But he’ll tell you the most important element is that he is a worshiper of the King. His onstage presence isn’t about performance. It’s about bringing glory to Jesus. Weaved into his performances is his raw story of freedom from an addiction to pornography. From this freedom a new passion stems beyond poetry and speaking. As one who has personally walked down the alleys of addiction to pornography Mark J is able to relate to and inspire many others affected by this epidemic. Mark writes "I can’t count how many times I have been approached by folks battling the cycle of sexual addiction as I was. Many of them trust me to be the first person they talk with openly about it - pretty amazing if you’d ask me. His heartbeat is to see people understand their value and live in freedom as God intends.

Mark J has ministered to thousands around the country and beyond. He has shared stages with artists like The Katinas, Israel Houghton, Deitrick Haddon, Remedy Drive, Propaganda, and many more. He has partnered alongside numerous ministries including Celebrate Recovery, K- LOVE Radio, Air1 Radio, XXXChurch.com, TBN and ministered at youth events, conferences, concerts, festivals, and schools across the country.
