A. Michael Rodhouse, B.A. Pastor Pastor Rodhouse has been working closely with Dr. Lake since 1998, serving as registrar for BLCS, as an associate pastor and worship leader. Before joining the Biblical Life team, he worked full-time in various pastoral and worship leader functions. He has also traveled internationally leading worship for an itinerant minister. In 1998, God set Michael free of childhood wounds that he had suffered from for nearly 20 years. From this breakthrough, he discovered what he loves to do most: preach the Word of God and being a pastor. Michael loves delivering the Word in a relevant, exciting form to see folks set free like he was! Michael is currently pursuing the Master of Divinity through BLCS. |
