What is Theology, Things & Stuff?

Welcome to Theology, Things, & Stuff.

My name is Chris McMichael. I am a husband. A father. A pastor. A missionary. An author. Once upon a time I was even a geologist.

On Theology, Things, & Stuff, I interview Christians from all over the world and from all walks of life to discuss their salvation experience and their unique interests and testimonies. From a missionary that gave up the American dream to preach in Africa, to a Catholic obsessed with excellence in woodworking; from a brother who runs 100-mile races, to a conservative black politician, the interviews on Theology, Things, & Stuff showcase the beauty and diverse experiences of the Body of Christ.

Each episode will conclude with a brief teaching that ties into some major point of discussion from the interview.

I trust you will be entertained, encouraged, and educated. Be sure to visit our other ministry related websites:
