Mike was born in Abilene, Texas in 1962 to parents who were serving in the U.S. Air Force. After living in Montana and Florida, his dad retired and moved back to Abilene in 1972. It was in Abilene that their entire family was introduced to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus and all began a new walk with Him! Mike was called into ministry his sophomore year at ACU and answered the call his junior year (he was a bit slow). While working on his degree in Ministry and Evangelism, Mike ministered at two local churches. He also spent a year as a missionary intern in Skelmersdale, England. Karen and Mike have served three congregations in our 21 years together, each one has been a unique and special blessing! They have three incredible children, Hunter (20), Colby (18), and Curry (13). They have a dog named Granger, two cats, and a gold fish. Mike consider myself one of the most blessed individuals in this world! But he will tell you… “I’m REALLY looking forward to the world to come. What a hope we have in Jesus!”

Who are those who will see God? The pure in heart. The questions are these: How to make our hearts pure? How to guard our hearts from impurity?
What do you think when you hear the word “meek?” The first thought for most people may be that “meek” means wimpy (like Barney Fife?), or weak, or not assertive. But is that right? Will the weak and wimpy really inherit the earth?
In this lesson, Mike explores those “deeper things” – humility, repentance, and transformation – as he presents the second of the beatitudes from Matthew 5.
