Hey! I'm Mark

I host of The Mark Casto Program—a podcast focused on viewing current events through a Christ-centered lens, and exploring how that shapes the way we think, live, and lead in the world.

I've been in full time ministry since I was 20, preaching the gospel literally all over the world.

But I faced a pivotal moment when I lost my salary during our church planting journey, leading to the loss of our home. This opened my eyes to the reality that I could not rely solely on a paycheck from the church.

I've served for years as a more or less informal business consultant and realized I had valuable knowledge I could share, which set me on a journey to monetize my expertise through digital products.

Within just 90 days of launching my first product, I generated $30,000 in revenue, and now I celebrate days where I earn as much as $5,000 in a single day. My journey has taught me that anyone can turn their wisdom and passion into wealth, and I’m here to guide others on that same path.
