Michael Todd

Michael Todd is an American pastor and Christian author whose work centers on relationships, faith, and spiritual growth. Best known for Relationship Goals, he also wrote Crazy Faith and Damaged but Not Destroyed. His work includes a #1 New York Times bestseller and a viral sermon series.

Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore

Michael Todd is a Tulsa-based pastor and Christian author whose public career developed out of ministry, music, and digital communication rather than a conventional literary path. Raised in Tulsa as the second oldest of five boys, he has written that he grew up in a close family, began dating Natalie, his future wife, as a teenager, and spent his early adult years working as a drummer, music producer, and church sound engineer. He also attended community college briefly before leaving, a detail he has often used to underscore how unlikely his later emergence as a bestselling author felt even to him.
