Thanks for Visiting!

Hi, I'm Mark Ballenger and I'm so happy you've come to ApplyGodsWord.com.

AGW Ministries is meant to be an online blessing to you. My passion is to help others apply God's truth to every aspect of life for his glory and our enjoyment of him.

I have a Master's Degree in Pastoral Counseling, I've been married since 2008, we have two wild children, and we live in Cleveland, Ohio.

I've served as a missionary, a pastor, and as a pastoral counselor. But my favorite act of serving God is revealing his truth in written format. So that's what AGW is all about!

Feel free to email me with any questions or comments at markballenger@applygodsword.com.
