BOOK MIKE TO SPEAK AT YOUR EVENT
A voice that invites conversation— not just applause. When you invite Mike Crawford to speak, you’re not getting a polished pulpit performance or a three-point sermon packed with clichés. You’re getting someone who’s lived a full life in the real world... A career CPA and partner at one of the top accounting firms in the country, who now spends his time helping others think deeply about faith, purpose, and the big questions that don’t fit neatly into a Sunday school handout.

What he does bring is honesty, humility, and an uncanny ability to meet audiences where they are, with stories that stick, scriptures that come to life, and messages that leave a lasting impact.
Whether it’s a men’s breakfast, a weekend retreat, a church leadership training, or a university Q&A night, Mike delivers powerful insight through down-to-earth storytelling, humor, and biblical truth.
