Michael Brindley

Since 2019, I've been on a mission at Organic Church, where I've been bringing the good word to the community. My sermons are like a breath of fresh air, mixed with a touch of humor, a dash of wisdom, and a sprinkle of inspiration.

Married to my better half, Alyssia, since 2012. We've created a harmonious symphony of love and chaos with our 5 amazing kids. Life in the Brindley household is a wild and wonderful ride.

By day, I don my suit and tie, and together with my incredible team, manage a sprawling empire of hospitality. We're the proud captains of not one, but two luxurious hotels and a fleet of 70 charming cabin rentals in the heart of Holmes County, Ohio.

So, whether I'm behind the pulpit, leading a team of hospitality maestros, or wrangling my lively bunch at home, life is an adventure, and I'm here for every twist and turn.

Organic Church is basically like family to me. No, literally! Being the founder's extended family member, this church has always felt like "home". But after wandering off and trying to do life my way, I quickly realized in 2019 that life just isn't possible without Jesus being in the center and was welcomed back with open arms.

I recently got married in summer of 2022 to my husband, Chase. We are excited to announce that will be welcoming our first child into this world in just a few short months! We couldn't be more excited for this next chapter in our lives.

During the day, I deliver mail for USPS all across Tusc. County- but typically in the New Philadelphia area. In my free time, you can find me outside doing SOMETHING. Whether that's hunting, fishing, or even tending to my honeybees.

I'm always open to exploring new places and new ideas so I was ecstatic to be asked to be a part of this podcast!
