I’ve walked through seasons most people don’t talk about — the kind that test your soul, where the weight is heavy and the silence louder than words. But I’ve found this: the road built on faith, though steep and rugged, is the only one worth walking.
Not because it’s easy. But because it’s real.
At michaelvowell.com, I’m not here to wear a mask or offer polished answers. I’m here to share what faith looks like when life hits hard — and what grace feels like when it holds you together.
I call this the threshing floor.
I’ve been there — through divorce, slander, a career turned upside down, the weight of single fatherhood, and more. But even when life strips you down to nothing, that’s where God does His deepest work. That’s where you find what really matters.
If you’re walking your own rough trail, I hope what you find here gives you strength to keep going. You’re not alone.
This road isn’t easy — but it’s worth it.
