Michael is the senior pastor of Sherwood Church in Albany, Georgia and has produced movies such as "Facing the Giants" and "Fireproof". We talk about racial issues and our relationships with others. He shares how we should be conducting ourselves with interacting with people - even those that are different than us. It is a relevant interview for today.

His church has produced major films such as “Facing the Giants”, “Courageous”, and “Fireproof”.
