Old Friends, New Lessons, Same Gospel — Michael Koulianos — Jesus Image

This week on Mature Me, Rich sits down with Michael Koulianos — an old friend with a fiery love for Jesus and the founder of Jesus Image.

In this conversation we walk down memory lane—preaching together in my first year at Rendezvous, the early days of ministry, and the lessons Michael learned traveling the world. Michael also shares the story of meeting his wife Jessica, planting Jesus Image Church, and stepping into the cost of answering God’s call.

At the heart of the conversation is this simple but powerful question: Did your heart burn? It’s the encounter Michael longs for every person to have with Jesus—a heart set ablaze with love for Him.
