Teach your preteen to love the Bible in four easy steps.
Michael Pritchard is the host of Chicken and Waffles: The Bible Podcast for Preteens, where he combines faith and fun to help preteens connect with God’s Word. For nearly ten years, Michael was the Preteen Pastor at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, TN, where he taught hundreds of preteens to dive into the Bible—sometimes by riding big wheels, freestyling hip-hop songs, or even eating crickets!
Now, Michael writes for Bellevue and Lifeway, creating resources used by families and churches nationwide. He also speaks at summer camps and special events, bringing energy, laughs, and biblical truth to kids and families.
Michael is married to Christy, and together, they’re raising two boys who ensure life is always an adventure. Whether teaching, cheering on his boys, or convincing others that waffles are superior to pancakes, Michael loves helping others experience God’s love in real, tangible ways.
