Mark Folk

Mark Folk is the author of Soul Weathered: Devotions Forged in the Fire of Real Life, a collection shaped by more than three decades of journals, wilderness experiences, and lessons learned while walking with God through the beauty and difficulty of everyday life.

Mark's writing is rooted in a simple conviction: God often speaks most clearly in the places where life gets real. Through honest stories of faith, failure, grace, adventure, and restoration, he encourages readers to recognize God's presence and follow Christ more intentionally.

Mark also serves through New Wilderness Adventures, an outdoor ministry that uses wilderness experiences to help people encounter God, deepen their faith, and discover purpose. He shares additional reflections through the Soul Weathered podcast and his writing.

Away from writing and ministry, Mark treasures time with his wife, family and his grandchildren. He also finds renewal on mountain trails and trout streams, places that have shaped both his life and his writing.
