One of Mike's favorite quotes is:""It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." -- Theodore Roosevelt".

e with my wonderful wife. She doesn’t complete me – only Jesus Christ can do that. But, she makes my life fuller, richer and more fun than I ever imagined.
I grew up in Fairfield Highlands, Alabama – a community in the greater Birmingham area. I attended Rutledge Junior High and Hueytown High School. In 1968, between my sophomore and junior year, I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ with sincerity and devotion. I was an unlikely candidate to be a fully devoted follower of Christ and that gave me many opportunities to share my new-found faith with others. I started preaching that same summer before my junior year in high school. I graduated from Hueytown High in 1970 and from Samford University in 1974. In May of 1974 I married the love of my life, the former Sondra Tatum. Together we moved so I could attend Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. In 1977 I earned my Masters in Divinity degree and in 1985 I received my Ph.D. I have been an evangelist, a pastor and a missionary. I am currently the pastor of a very unconventional church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I have four wonderful children (three sons and one daughter), two granddaughters, and one grandson -- who are blessings in ways that defy description. Over the years my passion for a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ has grown and my love for my wife has deepened. I am a blessed man.".
