Steve welcomes Mike Novotny to talk about some hot-button issues dominating our culture. Mike maintains that although some topics might be taboo, it simply won't work to hide from uncomfortable conversations.

Mike Novotny has written numerous books, including 3 Words That Will Change Your Life, What’s Big Starts Small, You Know God Loves You, Right?, and When Life Hurts. He holds a Doctorate of Ministry from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and loves being able to pour his joy and passion into his ministry at The CORE. Mike is also the lead speaker for Time of Grace, a global media ministry that is committed to ensuring that God’s grace—his love, glory, and power—is accessible around the world. Mike lives with his wife, Kim, and their two daughters, Brooklyn and Maya; runs long distances; and plays soccer with other middle-aged men whose best days are long behind them.
