The Making of a King

Michael was a top recruited high school football player who received a full athletic scholarship to Virginia Tech in 2003. It was during this time that he began a downward spiral which led to his incarceration. Although he shied away from being viewed as a role model prior to his incarceration, it became apparent throughout the years that he was destined for leadership. This humbling experience led him back to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. God continued to put him in leadership roles where young men would look to him for guidance and direction. He would pray with them and advise them in a way that he believed God approved of. This led to him becoming a lead minister at one of the correctional institutions and the ‘go to’ guy when someone needed encouragement. This is Michael’s story - a story of a young man’s journey from Sonship to Kingship, a story of humble beginnings, missteps, courage, and perseverance. Mostly, it is a story of faith that hopefully will empower you and guide you to a stronger faith of your own.
