Have you ever wondered how the men in your life deal with their shame?

Today’s guest, Michael Pryor, shares how witnessing his parents domestic violence and being molested created unhealthy patterns of anger and man pleasing in his life that were not dealt with until years later after becoming a Christian and getting married.

Michael Lejuan Pryor was born and raised in Chicago with summers spent in Mississippi and Tennessee. The Lord engaged and saved Michael's (Mike’s) heart in 2003. This encounter prepared Mike for freedom from the bondage of shame and sin. The Lord then floored Mike by giving him a wife, Angela L. Pryor. They have been happily and humbly married for over 13 years. Mike is a father of two children and one grandchild. God saw fit to allow Mike and Angie to be apart of a team that started a church on the Westside of Chicago, Chicago West Bible Church, under the leadership of Pastor Jon Kelly. Mike has a heart for the healing of God's people, especially His shepherds.
