Mike has been serving the local church for the past 35 years. He has spent his entire ministry career seeking to understand and help people grow in their walk with Jesus Christ. His master's degree and Ph.D. work have centered on education, especially in what the Scriptures teach us about Christian growth. He has also spent the past 12 years helping churches and pastors across the nation work through these samequestions and concerns. He shares the core belief with the Journey Team that everyone needs someone walking personally with them in order to grow on their journey with Jesus.
