Big Idea
In this opening message of the Story Time series, Mike Spiegel shares his unlikely journey to faith and reminds listeners that you do not need to grow up in church to meet God. He traces how ordinary moments, relationships, disappointment, and even resistance slowly became the places where God drew him in and reshaped his life. The sermon’s central challenge is to stop believing that your story is too small or too messy to matter, because God is already at work in it. It matters because it offers real hope to anyone who feels late, unqualified, or unsure about faith: you can take the next step right where you are.
