As an athlete from a small town in VA, Mikel understands how easy it can be to find your identity in sports.

Their love for him and investment in him lead him to attend an FCA Camp in 2014 where he finally saw that his true identity and sonship was in Christ alone. Since then he has been passionate about doing the...

This belief was put to the test when, as a high school basketball coach at Richmond High School, he locked out his undefeated team for not honoring a...
