A man committed to reaching individuals intellectually through deep, abiding Christianity, through a commitment to the Bible, the central focus of his life’s work is to engage culture with the message of Jesus Christ. He is rooted in the truths of orthodox Christianity and is gifted to speak to the contemporary culture with clarity through a keen cultural awareness and knowledge of the power and relevance of the sacred scriptures.

In 2019, Pastor Michael and Bethel launched a global media ministry that can be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Overcast called "In The Word with Pastor Michael Goering." Their hope for this outreach is to reach the nations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
