Evangelist/Teacher Mark Kunerth

Founder Shining sWord Ministry

I began my ministry journey when I was saved in a bar on December 19, 1987. I was ordained, the first time, in 1993. I received a second ordination in 1995 with a worldwide ministry fellowship. 

Jeanie, my wife, and I received the calling to minister in the prisons in both New Mexico and Texas, which we did for 18 years until 2014 when the Lord called us to Costa Rica where we lived until November 2021. We moved back to the US and have lived in Texas since then. In 1996 after receiving a divine download revelation from the Lord, I received a mandate to take the Gospel of the Kingdom – The Gospel of His Unconditional, Boundless Love and His Extravagant, Inexhaustible, Ridiculous, Radical Grace to all the world. Lead by the Holy Spirit and the Word, our call is to remove “the veil” of legalism and the bondage of religion in order to reveal Truth of the uncomplicated yet deep mystery of God’s Grace. “Our desire in partnership with God is to see everyone come to know who they are in Christ and who He is in them. It is in that place they will experience the freedom for which Christ has set us free.” 

We have been blessed with two daughters and six outstanding grandchildren. They are all walking in the great grace and love of God. It gives us great peace to know they are not caught up in the bondage of religion and legalism, but have freedom in Christ Jesus.

Together, Jeanie and I seek to share the revelation of the deeper truths of God’s great love and Inexhaustible, Ridiculous Grace more radically than the Apostle Paul. “If it’s the knowledge of the Truth that makes us free, then it’s error that binds us.” Also, “Without our identity which is found in grace, we are nothing more than a fugitive living under the alias of a free man”. That powerful declaration of truth is from our youngest daughter when she was just seventeen. With her permission, we have adopted it into our ministry statement.

If you are willing to go on a journey to find Truth, then we encourage you to read, study, and even challenge the writings in this blog. All we ask is that only scripture be used when making those challenges. Be assured that these writings will ruin your religion and challenge many sacred cows. As an evangelist and good friend of mine says, “It’s time to cut off the head of our pet snakes”.

It’s By Grace Alone through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His FINISHED work at the Cross! Grace and Peace to you!
