About

Rarely are the terms “hilarious-storyteller-songwriter-theologian” used in the same sentence, much less used to describe the same person, but then again, Mike is anything but stereotypical! Mike has 30+ years of church and para-church ministry leadership and has been featured on numerous television and radio programs. For three decades, he toured with the most memorable names in the Christian music industry, wrote comedy for some noted television stars, won the Gospel Music Association Dove award for Comedian of the Year, Recorded a Dry Bar Comedy Special, a Bananas Television Comedy Special, is played daily on SiriusXM, recorded eighteen audio/video projects, and written twenty books while flying over 5 million miles on Delta and American airlines. His list of personal references is impressive.

He and his wife of 38 years co-authored a marriage book entitled Men Moved To Mars When Women Started Killing The Ones On Venus and numerous other books. His four children are a constant source of material for him.

Mike is a rescued child from an inner-city mother in trauma, who came to faith through his adopted parents. Years later, Mike and his wife, Terica, went on to rescue/adopt a child from a very similar background. His story will inspire any audience.

In 2010, Mike and his family stepped away from comedy to start a mission (CUPSMission.com) that still thrives today, evangelizing, serving trafficked children, and feeding poor people living in a garbage dump. Shortly after they partnered with Jack Eason, expanding the work to Malawi, and Mexico City. Mike often says, “I want to live life more worthy of a statue than a tombstone.” The mission now has six schools, five churches, and fifteen full-time staff members.

Whether it is for a Sunday morning service, an outreach event, Seniors Luncheon, marriage event, mission conference, church-wide date night, or workers banquet, Mike will not disappoint! Get ready to receive a lot of kudos for bringing Mike to your event.

Mike often speaks at Pastor Conferences on the topic of stewardship. His two new Renovate Publishing books, Cultivating A Generous Church, and The Whatever Life Hack, are both proving to be a financial blessing to the local church.
