Summary

Welcome to Exploring the Marketplace with Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson! Today, we're joined by the remarkable Michael Acker. Michael's parents turned their lives around, leaving behind drug smuggling and new-age witchcraft to dedicate themselves to Christ through YWAM and missionary work in Mexico. This profound transformation set Michael on his path to ministry.

After college and nearly two decades in pastoral ministry, Michael transitioned into corporate sales and executive communication coaching, while still volunteering at GO and his local church. In 2023, Michael and Taylor engaged with the leadership at GO, leading Michael to become the Executive Director at Go On The Mission, focusing on aiding impoverished children and breaking the cycle of poverty.

Michael shares his journey of integrating faith into his sales career, overcoming burnout after 18 years in ministry, and finding success in corporate work, writing, and coaching. Join us as we dive into Michael's inspiring story of faith, resilience, and God's provision. This episode is packed with insights and encouragement for anyone navigating their marketplace journey.
