Training horses is not the #1 thing in Michael's life, it's sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. One of his favorite places to have a clinic is at a Cowboy Church. Michael uses the relationship between horse and man to show the relationship between man and God.
Michael believes that the only way to God the Father is through the Lord Jesus Christ. He believes that God sent his only Son born of a virgin to the earth He created to live the perfect life that we could not. Then He died on a cross for our sins, was buried, only to arise three days later conquering death. After this He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father God.
He believes that the Bible is the inerrant word of God and that it promises us that Jesus will return to take back with Him all those who believe by faith in Him.
