Summary

My guest on the show this week is professional magician Mike Pilkey. Mike found the church and was baptized while in high school. After getting married at a young age, Mike was on top of the world. Soon though, Mike found himself divorced and wrestling with a pornography addiction. This led to bitterness and ultimately, Mike leaving the church and having his records removed. Realizing what he was missing, Mike began the path back to activity, finding love and marriage along the way. Mike is a humble and inspiring man. His story shows that there is always a path back through Christ.
