Bill Crowder joined the Our Daily Bread Ministries staff in 2001 after more than twenty years in the pastorate stretching from West Virginia to Southern California to West Michigan. Bill has written many Bible-study booklets for the ministry's Discovery Series, and has authored more than twenty books with Our Daily Bread Publishing, including Wisdom for our Worries and Gospel on the Mountains. In addition, Bill serves as a cohost--with Mart DeHaan, Elisa Morgan, Rasool Berry, and Daniel Ryan Day--on the Discover the Word podcast and daily radio program, heard nationwide. Now semiretired and living in North Carolina, Bill continues to contribute to Our Daily Bread and other ministry efforts and speaks at Bible conferences and churches.

Bill and his wife, Marlene, have been married for more than forty-five years and have five adult children and a growing legion of grandchildren. To relax, Bill enjoys playing golf whenever possible, and follows sports, especially the English Premier League's Liverpool Football Club.
