Micah D. Smith

I have found that the deep yearnings of my heart, and the greatest need I feel called to participate in this world meet for me in the ministry of preaching the Word. It certainly never gets comfortable because any time I am asked to preach I realize I'm standing in the place that only belongs rightly, to Jesus himself. I have loved studying the interplay between the sermon and worship setting, in my ministry opportunities across multiple denominations, demographics, and contexts identifying areas of great beauty and elements that are less helpful towards our experiencing the presence of Christ.

I engage in conversations with people from all walks of life, and am eager to engage in dialogue about what we think about God where people are at - in the current context of what they are experiencing in their lives. The goal is always to help individuals, congregations, and the church to hear the voice of Jesus and respond with faith, hope, and love. So that the saints would be equipped for the work of ministry, by building up the body of Christ so that all might come to unity of the faith and maturity in the full measure of who Christ is.
