“Hello! I’m Michael. I have six passions…”
-
My personal walk with Jesus Christ. It is simply because of Him and Him alone that I am who I am and have everything that I have.
-
My family. After my personal salvation, my wife & children are the biggest blessings that I have bar none!
-
To help people dive into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and then for them to continuously help others dive into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
-
To help people dive into a deeper understanding of God's world through the filter of His word in order to be the most effective believers & leaders that they can be in the community and setting where God has planted them.
-
To help genuine Christ-followers realize that having their best life now is not about here and now, but about investing in eternity in real ways here and now! (Spiritually, Physically, Fiscally, etc.)
-
Along with my wife, to do what we can to encourage couples and/or families as they walk through this crazy life.
