In Pursuit with Mike Weaver
by AccessMore
Mike Weaver is traveling the country in an RV in pursuit of inspirational stories, as Mike says, "for people who realize we are not perfect but are in pursuit of the One who is - Jesus! We believe He has redeemed us and in this podcast are exploring topics concerning what that looks like for our daily lives as believers." Mike Weaver is the voice of Big Daddy Weave, one of Christian music’s most beloved artists. The band’s numerous number one radio singles are the favorites of many, including “Love Come to Life,” “Redeemed,” “The Only Name (Yours Will Be),” “Overwhelmed,” “My Story” “The Lion and the Lamb,” “Alive” and “I Know.” As much as Big Daddy Weave is known for their music and ministry, they may be known even more for their fervor to seek the Lord.
