Often described as engaging and authentic, Michele Cushatt is a speaker and author with whom audiences connect. Weaving contemporary stories with ancient script, she hangs out in the tension between authentic faith and real life. This is a place full of questions with few answers. Michele doesn't hide the fact that her story is a mix of joy and pain, leaving her tender toward those who likewise find themselves in a less-than-idyllic life. Yet, the journey is awakening an irony: In order to get over her stuff, she needs to get over herself. For this reason, she issues two challenges: First, forgo the spurious and discover the only true rescue – a real and active God. Second, live authentically and with impact as extension of compassion and grace beyond self.
