Called to encourage
Rev. Dr. Michael Askew — known to many simply as Pastor Mike — has spent his life walking alongside people through the highs and lows of the journey. As a pastor, author, and speaker, he carries a single conviction: that no experience is wasted and no person is beyond hope.
As a Shepherdpreneur, Pastor Mike blends the heart of a shepherd with the creativity of a builder, creating books, devotionals, a podcast, and a growing community all aimed at one thing — helping people become who God created them to be.
Life may bend you, but it does not have to break you
This is the message woven through everything Pastor Mike does. Storms come. Roads grow long. But bending is not breaking, and God is faithful to bring rest, renewal, and purpose to those who keep walking.
Whether from the pulpit, the page, the microphone, or a quiet conversation, Pastor Mike's aim is the same: to inspire hope, build faith, and remind you that you were made for more.
