My name is Michael E. Napier, and have been born again for over 50 years. I enjoyed a three-decade career with the local utility company. I started an independent Baptist Church more than thirty years ago, where I still serve as senior pastor. I hold two earned doctorates. I have been married to the same lovely woman for over 40 years, have three beautiful children, and have six incredible grandchildren. I live in beautiful East Tennessee and enjoy fishing, hunting, sport shooting, home remodeling, and woodworking.
As you can see, I’m just an average American, but my story of unspeakable joy begins in early August 2020 when I contracted a life-threatening version of COVID-19. Through this trial, which continues, I have found unspeakable joy in my relationship with God. My writings, henceforth, are to tell you my story and give any believer that will hear insight on how to experience unspeakable joy in Jesus Christ or help you identify what keeps you from having the joy God intends you to share (John 15:11).
