Killing The American Dream - Missionary Brett Scudder | Theology, Things & Stuff #001

J. Christopher McMichael was privileged to be raised in a Christian home, attending church his entire life. He surrendered his life to the Lord as a child while at a summer Baptist youth camp in the mountains of Tennessee. As a teenager on his first missions trip, he began to recognize the call of God to ministry. He earned a degree in earth sciences from Tennessee Tech University and enjoyed a successful career as a geologist in geotechnical engineering and mining. In 2007, he and his wife Manda were installed as the pastors of Engrafted Word Church while continuing to consult as a geologist for the next thirteen years. Today, Chris’ focus in solely on the church and world missions. After authoring six books and learning the ins and outs of book publishing, he launched Petra Press Publishing in 2023, with the goal of helping pastors and ministers publish their God-inspired work with the highest standard possible. Chris and his wife have three children they love raising in Tennessee.

Pastor Brett and his wife Bobbie have been missionaries in Uganda, East Africa for 13 years. Their ministry work is to train pastors and church leaders to fulfill the Great Commission and build strong local churches throughout the country. In addition, Pastor Brett teaches three times a week on radio, reaching over 2 million listeners each broadcast. The Scudders were sent out by Pastor Chris McMichael and are members of Dr Mark T Barclay's Righteous Preachers Network.
