I first discovered Michael on twitter, and then later followed his tweets to his website
and found someone who loves God. A particular post I read showed me a faith in God that one can aspire to. I thought it would be wonderful to interview Mike so he can tell us his story. Here’s a link to an exclusive video Mike made for the interview questions I sent him via email. I hope you’re as blessed and inspired as I am.
