Mark Edward Chard is both a Scholar / Independent Researcher and Spiritual writer whose words are born from divine encounters, academic study, and deep love.
His debut book, Let God Speak, is more than a title, it is a mission: to awaken hearts, stir faith, and help readers hear that still, holy voice within.
Living in the sun, with the sea on his doorstep and heaven in his heart, Mark’s journey was profoundly shaped by the passing of his twin soul brother, Darren. Out of this loss came miraculous moments of connection, visions, lights, and real-time spiritual responses, that have become both the heartbeat of his books and the foundation of his academic work.
Mark has since written four academic papers currently available on Academia.edu, Humanities Commons (CORE) and Social Science Research Network (SSRN - search for Mark E Chard)
From Primeval Rebellion to Cosmic Restoration Reading Genesis through the Apocalyptic Lens of 1 Enoch and Revelation
Theological And Historical Significance of the Book of Jubilees
Enoch And Jubilees In dialogue with Contemporary Spiritual Manifestations
Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene: Restoring the Truth through Scripture, Scholarship and Spirit.
The first three papers have been published in the LIT Literary Theory & Critism eJournal, Vol 15, the fourth paper to follow.
Looking ahead to the next twelve months, Mark is preparing these works for peer review and is prayerfully working toward an invitation to present at the European Association of Biblical Studies (EABS) Conference in Leuven 2026.
This site now hosts podcasts of these academic papers. Each episode provides an accessible, balanced reflection, designed to help listeners engage with complex ideas in a clear and practical way. Though all his academic work is written in English, translations into 25 of the world’s leading languages are available, allowing these studies to reach a truly global audience.
Mark describes himself not as a preacher or a teacher, but as a listener:
"I write what I hear when God speaks.”
Whether you come here searching spiritual guidance, information or reflection, prayers, to learn or research about Jesus Christ, or follow my journey with Darren, you are warmly invited to explore, question, and engage.

Mark was recently invited to appear on Talk Radio Europe, a station reaching listeners across Spain and beyond. In this wide-ranging discussion, he shares the heart behind his groundbreaking spiritual book series, explores the timeless relevance of the Genesis narrative, and reflects on divine love, origin, and purpose.
While the platform's multi-faith guidelines limited the discussion of Christian doctrine, Mark’s faith, grace, and conviction still shine through.
We thank Talk Radio Europe for the opportunity to share the message. and invite all listeners to discover the deeper truth behind “Let God Speak.”
