Chicken and Waffles: The Bible Podcast for Preteens

About

Welcome to Chicken and Waffles: The Bible Podcast for Preteens, where learning and obeying God’s Word creates preteens that are unique and unforgettable…just like chicken and waffles.

If you are a preteen between the ages of 9 and 12 who wants to live a unique and unforgettable life, then join Pastor Michael as he shows you how to apply biblical truth in your family, neighborhood, and school.

In each episode, you will be immersed into the story of scripture and be challenged to answer two simple questions: First, “What does it mean?” (That’s the chicken), and second, “What should I do?” (There’s your waffle). If you’re ready to learn exciting truth from the Bible, discover adventure by applying God’s directions to your life, and laugh all along the way, then join Pastor Michael every Monday and Thursday for new episodes! 

James 1:22 - But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says...

 

Statement of Beliefs

I believe in the existence of one God, who reveals himself in three distinct persons - the Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit.

I believe that people are separated from God because of sin. God loves people so much that he sent Jesus to earth to be the perfect sacrifice for all of humanity. After being crucified on the cross, Jesus rose from the dead three days later and then ascended into Heaven. Confessing our sins and accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior is the only way for us to be saved and have a personal relationship with God.

I believe in the Bible as God's perfect word for humanity, and it is completely trustworthy and true.

In the span of two days in 2012, Michael became a father and launched a preteen ministry at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, TN. Life has never slowed down since...

For over nine years, Michael taught hundreds of preteens how to learn and apply God's Word in their families, neighborhoods, and schools. While teaching, he's been known to ride Big Wheels, create on-the-spot hip hop music, and even eat crickets! He firmly believes that fun and creativity are the best ways to teach preteens biblical truth.

In the last several years, Michael has become a writer, speaker, and podcaster. He has written curriculum and devotionals for Bellevue and LifeWay. He has been the speaker at multiple summer camps and events for kids and preteens. Additionally, he has produced and hosted two podcasts, "Diapers to Diplomas: Genuine Parenting Conversations" and "Chicken and Waffles: The Bible Podcast for Preteens."

Right now, Michael is probably laughing at the absurdity of life with his wife, Christy, and throwing the baseball or football with his two boys.
