Episode 18: When Honesty Leads You to Jesus with Mark Joe

In this episode of The Knock Podcast, we sit down with Mark Joe, whose journey runs from prison cells and compulsive lying to radical honesty, real repentance, and a bold life with Jesus. Mark shares how a moment of clarity in solitary confinement—simply deciding to stop lying—became the first step God used to completely redirect his life. From there, he describes years of searching for truth, developing a deep prayer life, reading Scripture, and eventually being wrecked by God's grace in the back row of a church service that led him to finally surrender to Jesus. Today, Mark runs Omen Coffee in the heart of a progressive city—not as a trendy business, but as a ministry ground zero. The shop has become a hub for young adults, Bible studies, baptisms, and conversations for people who are hungry for God but hesitant to walk into a traditional church. He talks about rebuilding his relationship and marriage through obedience, watching God restore what was broken, and why marketplace ministry and everyday boldness matter just as much as a pulpit. If you're wrestling with faith, frustrated with "church people," or just wondering if God is real, Mark's testimony will challenge you to open your Bible, talk to God honestly, and give Jesus a real chance. If this story stirs something in you—pray on it.  If you're searching for more—lean in.  Because God is always knocking. The question is: will you answer?
