As the Worship Pastor for The People's Church, a thriving multi-site church in Franklin, TN, Michael divides his time among mentoring, songwriting and teaching/leading at conferences and Seminars4Worship around the country.

Michael's first Christmas collaborative album, "Heaven's Light," was released in 2006. This album features some of Michael's top Christmas music, as well as the talents of Paul Baloche and Ross Parsley.

In 2005, his Integrity project "Bigger Than Life" took churches by storm as a top resource for the modern, worshiping choir. "Bigger Than Life" was nominated for a 2006 Dove award in the "Choral Collection of the Year" category.

Michael resides in Franklin, TN with his wife, Leah, and their two children, Micah and Maisie.
