Michael once covered the Green Bay Packers as a reporter in 2005. That year the Packers went 4-12, they missed the playoffs and head coach Mike Sherman was fired. Michael is a superstitious Packers fan and he vowed to never cover them again after that. Since then they have made the NFL playoffs 8 times with one Super Bowl victory.

There is no separation between the gospel and culture, between how we live in society and how we live in our private lives, between the lordship of Jesus inside the four walls of a church building and outside that building.
We are called to go make disciples, but how do disciples live? How do we function in the world—in our marriages, families, schools and places of business? How do we live as salt and light in the society?.
