Summary
Michael Cochren grew up βdoing churchβ by traditionβgrandparents in ministry, Sunday worship, youth choirβbut his heart never really connected. πΆ In college, talented yet hollow, he joined a church music job for all the wrong reasons: self-promotion and convenience. A two-year Bible study left him indifferent until one night in a campus chapel, the presence of God peeled back the maskβhe saw his own βfilthβ and cried out to truly follow Christ. π A chance βCasting Crownsβ lyric on the car radio confirmed Godβs promise to cast his sin away as far as the east is from the west. From that parking-lot surrender onward, Michaelβs music and ministry have been fueled by genuine faith, not performance. β¨
