Getting fired for the glory of God

Scripture is full of the voices of prophets who are convicted, irritated, edified, exhorted, chastised, instructed, encouraged and proclaimed the Truth. Many followed these prophets; many hated them; some dismissed them; still others wanted them silenced. The same could be said of Mike Yaconelli.

Like the prophets of old, Mike was a blend of the sacred and the profane, the outspoken and the insecure, the gentle lamb and the roaring lion. This paradox lives on in his writing and in his recorded words.
