Shake off the week and give God the praise that he is worthy of!.“Every blessing and promise and provision God brings to you through crazy faith is intended to advance His mission of saving faith for everyone on the earth,” reveals Michael.INTRODUCTION – Pastor Mike Todd opens the service by welcoming Transformation Nation: He says, “It’s only crazy until it happens.” Believe Me for the whole thing.” One year and two months later Michael is managing the whole complex for God’s glory. After Transformation Church moved into the SBEC Michael felt God tell him, “Don’t take your foot off the gas. SBEC sits at the back of a seven-building commercial complex that is home to thirty-five businesses. The gap between God’s promise of the SBEC and His provision of Transformation Church’s new home was five years. ![]() Surprisingly, the people in the congregation were on board with Michael’s vision for the church. When he made this announcement in church he says you could have heard the crickets. He also added that someone would underwrite the whole thing. We will have a state-of-the-art facility.” Below the photo he typed, “The SpiritBank Event Center will be Transformation Church. The first thing he heard the Holy Spirit say, “The SpiritBank Event Center (SBEC) will be Transformation Church.” He searched online and found a picture of the facility then put a Transformation Church logo on it. Michael typed up a list of what he was believing God to do for their church. At the time, they had just barely paid off their building which was a 33,000 square foot converted grocery store in the hood of Tulsa. One of the first things he did (thirty-seven days after becoming lead pastor) was write down a vision God gave him for a new building. When Michael and his wife, Natalie took over Transformation Church (previously led by the McIntoshes) in 2015 there were about 300 members in attendance. God had inspired the early prophetic drawings (shoes and drum sets) to build his faith muscle and prepare him for challenges he would face later in life as a father, husband and pastor with childlike assurance. By the time he was fifteen he used the same faith to purchase an $8,000-drum set. ![]() It might sound silly, but this was the beginning of crazy faith in his life.Įventually the shoes on the sketch pad ended up on his feet. He wanted a pair of Air Jordan’s so he began drawing a picture of the pair he wanted in great detail. In middle school Michael heard the scripture Habakkuk 2 that says, “Write the vision and make it plain” (NKJV) so he started applying this concept to his own life.
