Krisan Marotta is a force to be reckoned with in the world of Bible study. With an unyielding passion for teaching and a penchant for unraveling the meaning of Scripture, Krisan has made it her mission to combat biblical illiteracy one podcast at a time.

Born with an innate curiosity and a love of learning, she has inspired thousands with her weekly podcast, “Wednesday in the Word,” helping over 50,000 listeners in 157 countries deepen their understanding of the Bible.

Krisan’s Christian journey begin in high school and flourished during her college years at Stanford University. She found her true calling at Peninsula Bible Church, where the verse-by-verse teachings opened her eyes to the profound depth of the Scriptures.

With a degree in journalism, Krisan learned how to ask good questions, do extensive research, and distill complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives—all skills that now shape her teaching. Later, she completed a three-year postgraduate program in biblical exegesis, where she studied biblical languages, theology, church history, and the art of interpretation. But her real training has come through decades of personal study, driven by a passion to understand—and a desire to share.

As the Women’s Ministry Director for her church for over two decades, she touched countless lives through her teachings. Her weekly women’s Bible study became a cherished tradition, running from 1994 until 2014, and laying the groundwork for her the Wednesday in the Word podcast.

Though her reach is global, Krisan remains grounded. Whether she’s teaching Scripture, spending time with her grandchildren, or dancing with the Skyline Country Cloggers, she sees everyday life as the proving ground of what she believes.  As she says, “The knowledge you gain is useless unless you let it change your life.”

Looking ahead, Krisan hopes to expand her ministry through publishing books. But her core mission remains the same: to help others discover the deep, life-changing truth of the Bible for themselves—and to keep learning as long as the Lord allows.
