Michael shares about growing up in a pastor’s home alongside his identical twin brother and how those early experiences in ministry shaped his understanding of the local church. He recounts a humorous story about meeting his wife while they were both students in Bible college, a relationship that began in the halls of ministry training and eventually led to a lifetime of serving the Lord together.

In addition, he discusses his work as an author and the process of writing several books, offering insight into how the Lord has used writing as another avenue for ministry and encouragement.
