A family enjoying a walk in the woods, consisting of a man, woman, and child holding hands. The father is wearing a beige sweater and black pants, the mother is in a beige dress, and the child is in a white shirt and brown pants. Sunlight filters through the trees in the background.

A family in an outdoor setting; a man lifts a young child in the air, while a woman stands beside them, surrounded by lush greenery and warm sunlight.

From a miracle at 10 to a mission that’s still unfolding.

Mike is an author, speaker, coach, and passionate follower of Jesus with a calling to help people and churches grow through discipleship, leadership, and redemption. His story begins with brokenness, but it’s led to so much more: a life of faith, purpose, and Kingdom impact.

At 10 years old, Mike survived a life-threatening brain tumor — a miracle that marked his life forever. He came from a story of grace, pain, healing, and purpose. He’s walked through the challenges of a broken childhood and watched God transform brokenness into something beautiful.

“I’ve seen firsthand what it means to be rescued, restored, and repurposed — and I carry that testimony into every space I’m called to lead.” - Mike Sandoval
