  <description>Born and raised on the Big Island, Mike’s life took a sharp turn in college. Partying. Fighting. Lost. Then an unexpected pregnancy changed everything. At 20 years old, he became a father, left school, worked multiple jobs, and fought for custody — all while wrestling with shame, rejection, and the fear that his future was over.
But everything changed the day he walked into a church cafeteria and encountered the presence of God.
This is more than a testimony.
It’s a conversation about:
• Shame and feeling disqualified
• Single fatherhood and fighting for your family
• Divorce, waiting seasons, and radical surrender
• Hearing God’s voice when you least expect it
• Obedience when you don’t want the calling
• Marriage that lasts decades
• Building legacy from broken beginnings
From working at Pizza Hut and pumping gas… to preaching around the world and leading Inspire Church for over two decades — Mike’s story proves that grace doesn’t waste your past.
If you’ve ever felt behind…
If you’ve ever felt like you ruined your future…
If you’ve ever wondered whether God could still use you…
This episode is for you.
Broken beginnings don’t cancel destiny.
Radical surrender builds lasting legacy.
Watch. Share. And don’t count yourself out.
