The Heartbeat

Mark Vereen

Behind every sweet potato pie is Mark Vereen — Pastor, Itinerant Evangelist, Prayer Warrior, Father, Grandfather, and Sweet Potato Pie Connoisseur. Here on this order page, you're connecting with a beautifully lesser-explored side of a man whose life is still deeply rooted in ministry.

When he steps away from the pulpit or returns home from the road, he finds joy in his true culinary passion: crafting sweet potato pies from scratch, baked to silky perfection with not a single string in sight.

This cherished recipe comes from years of tasting, surveying, and sharing laughter around pies made by family members, shaped by his belief that every pie should reflect the love in the heart of its baker. With over 35 years in ministry and more than 20 years pastoring, Mark Vereen continues to serve faithfully — and now invites you to enjoy a piece of the love, warmth, and excellence that fills his kitchen.
