If you live in the Kansas City metro, there's a good chance you've see KC Superman, Michael Wheeler run (literally) the streets of Kansas City. Michael even takes his Superman character on the road to impact many across the country. As a devoted Christian, Michael uses his radical image to bring glory to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In this episode, Michael explains his upbringing. He's the son of a pastor and family member of a strong foundation in Christian faith. He explains when he was saved by Christ after being wrongfully accused of assault while serving in the military. At the same time, he was going through a divorce. He was drafted into the military towards the tail end of the Vietnam crisis, leaving behind his wife and young son. After being saved by Christ, it became his mission to take the ministry to the streets. From the drug infested areas of Kansas City to the gang controlled streets of Compton, California, Michael has surrendered his personal fear to the Lord in effort to spread the Good Word. He's been beaten with a pipe, hit over the head with a board and even stabbed. Even after all that, he has no fear. He seeks large crowds like KC Chiefs & Royals games and even travels to the Super Bowl each year. You'll be blown away to know how many marathons he's run. At the time of recording (3/14/23), Michael is 72 years old and still going strong to offer love, peace and prayer to whomever he meets. You may (or may not) be surprised to hear him explain the many times he's been arrested for his efforts. You'll also learn of his commitment to Christ with the things he does when people aren't looking...like running the Super Bowl victory parade route over and over in the middle night, as he prays continuously during his run that the Lord will bless the Kansas City streets and everyone who comes hours later to celebrate. It's a very intriguing discussion and we're most grateful for his prayer over our podcast at the end of the episode.
