In this gripping episode of Amazing Greats, we sit down with renowned cinematographer and documentarian Michael Lienau, whose life was forever changed by the eruption of Mount St. Helens, May 18 1980. At just 20 years old, Michael found himself trapped at ground zero with a small film crew during the volcano’s second major blast—an ordeal that turned into a four-day fight for survival. From melted boots and eerie silence to blinding ash and divine visions, Michael recounts the harrowing experience that not only tested his physical endurance but also transformed his spiritual life. His powerful encounter with Jesus in the midst of catastrophe set him on a new path—one rooted in faith, purpose, and storytelling.
Michael shares how this life-defining moment led to a long career producing faith-centered documentaries, launching ministries, and raising a family of nine with his wife and creative partner, Sherry. From the volcanic landscapes of Hawaii to the streets of Tacoma, Michael’s journey is marked by a passion for truth, reconciliation, and the supernatural power of God. Don’t miss this unforgettable conversation about divine rescue, creative calling, and a legacy built on listening to God’s voice—even in the darkest moments.
