This exploration of faith has been a driving force in his career, fueling his passion for storytelling through the lens of Christianity.
Crafting Stories that Speak to All
One of the most fascinating aspects of the discussion was Michael’s approach to creating Christian films that strike a chord with both churchgoers and those outside the church walls. His films are crafted with authenticity and raw emotion, aiming to touch the hearts of viewers regardless of their background. It’s this universal appeal that has contributed to the success of his movies, which you can stream on Tubi.

Demons and Deliverance
Apostle Veryl didn’t hold back when asked about what needed to change in the church.

The people need living water and humility from the church.
