Michael Barnard
Called to Serve
In his senior year at Dallas Baptist University, during a moment of prayer seeking purpose and direction, Michael sensed the Lord speak a single word to him: “Pastor.”
He didn’t want to hear it. Confused and convinced he was supposed to pursue a career in Financial Advising, he ran the opposite direction. Right out of college, Financial Advising proved to be an instant mismatch. Real Estate followed, yet the inner conflict with God only grew. Years passed marked by trials, self-destruction, and a deep sense of emptiness.
But even in the struggle, the Lord was working. In Real Estate, Michael discovered a God-given gift for teaching—creating a training resource for first-time homebuyers and being invited to teach new agents at Keller Williams. Still, the Lord eventually led him out of Real Estate entirely, bringing him to a reset moment where he had nothing left but surrender.
From that place of humility, God opened an unexpected door at a software company. Starting from the ground up, Michael spent 5 years as a Software Implementation Consultant before becoming an Instructional Designer—roles that sharpened his speaking, teaching and consulting skills.
As Michael continued to walk in surrender, the Lord transformed his life and drew him into ministry. Over the years he has served on Altar Call Prayer Teams, in ushering and welcoming, in Spiritual Warfare & Deliverance ministry, in Worship, and he even launched a soccer-based outreach called Christ Football Club, a ministry that has opened doors for preaching to small groups.
Today, the Lord is using Michael in many ways. His heart is simple and sincere—to serve God and people with the gifts the Lord has placed in his hands. Michael currently resides in Heath, TX with his wife beautiful wife Courtney and newborn son Liam and they are current members at Lakepointe Church Sunnyvale.
