What in the world could God have in store for you? God’s dreams for your life are far more profound than anything you could ever imagine, and fulfilling your purpose to the fullest is a journey He is faithful to complete. Part inspiring memoir and part transformative leadership tool, Birth of Explicit Movement tells Michele’s full founding story, offering a front-row seat to how God calls unlikely people to step beyond self-doubt, insecurity, and limitations to experience the extraordinary power of obedience.
Each chapter opens with an awe-inspiring, supernatural God story that sets the stage for high-impact teachable moments. Written as both a personal testimony and a reflection guide, every section closes with interactive prompts designed to help readers hear God’s voice, embrace the wisdom of His design, and take bold, fruitful steps into their unique calling.
