Kevin W. Bounds

Kevin W. Bounds is a pastor and Bible teacher who writes for the life of the Church.

He has served in pastoral ministry for over two decades, teaching Scripture, preaching weekly, and walking alongside believers in the ordinary rhythms of Christian life. His work grows out of a simple conviction. God’s Word is meant to be understood, loved, and lived. Scripture was not given merely to be studied at a distance, but to form Christ in His people through faithful teaching and careful reflection.

Kevin holds a B.S. in Bible and Theology from Lee University and a M.A. in Biblical and Theological Studies from Belhaven University. His academic training supports his pastoral calling, but his primary concern has always been serving the Church rather than pursuing academic trends.

He currently serves as Pastor of Morningside Baptist Church, where he is committed to Christ-centered preaching and congregational discipleship. In addition to his pastoral role, he serves as an Adjunct Instructor with Brewton-Parker Christian University, teaching in Christian Studies Department.

Kevin writes as a shepherd rather than a pundit. His focus is clarity over cleverness, depth without density, and doctrine that shapes daily obedience. Whether writing devotionally, teaching students, or preparing sermon resources, his aim is to help believers grow in maturity, confidence in Scripture, and love for Christ.

The Life & Doctrine commentary series reflects this pastoral vision. These devotional commentaries are written to serve individual readers, church Bible studies, and pastors who need trustworthy and accessible tools for teaching God’s Word. Each volume is shaped by careful exposition, prayer, and the lived rhythms of ministry.

Alongside the finished books, Kevin also writes Life & Doctrine: Field Notes, a working journal that documents the process of studying, teaching, and writing Scripture for the Church. These reflections offer readers a glimpse into the slow and faithful work behind the commentary series.

Kevin’s writing life is marked by steady labor rather than spectacle. He believes faithfulness over time matters more than speed or recognition. His prayer is that every word he writes would serve Christ by strengthening His people through the truth of Scripture.

In addition to writing and teaching, Kevin is also a cyclist. Long rides provide space for prayer, meditation on Scripture, and unhurried reflection that often shapes his clearest insights. Cycling has become part of his spiritual formation, offering time to think, listen, and engage both God’s Word and God’s world with attentiveness. Many ideas that eventually appear in sermons, Field Notes, or commentary pages are first worked out on the bike.
