Welcome to Chicken and Waffles: The Bible Podcast for Preteens, where learning and obeying God’s Word creates preteens that are unique and unforgettable…just like chicken and waffles.

If you are a preteen between the ages of 9 and 12 who wants to live a unique and unforgettable life, then you need to join Pastor Michael as he shows you how to apply biblical truth in your family, neighborhood, and school.

As a preteen pastor, Pastor Michael taught hundreds of preteens at Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, TN, how to learn and obey the Bible for almost ten years. Now, you are invited to join him and discover how to read the Bible on your own while being challenged to live out God’s truth in your everyday life.

In each episode, Pastor Michael will show you how to ask two simple questions when reading the Bible: First, “What does it mean?” (That’s the chicken), and second, “What should I do?” (There’s your waffle). If you’re ready to learn exciting truth from the Bible, discover adventure by applying God’s directions to your life, and laugh all along the way, then join Pastor Michael for each episode of Chicken and Waffles: The Bible Podcast for Preteens.

I love it as much as the kids!

My kids and I love Chicken and Waffles! This ministry-in-a-podcast has opened up many avenues of discussion with my kids. We love the relatable examples from his life that Michael (aka “Mr Chicken and Waffles”) shares! He has a great sense of humor and a relatability with the kids that doesn’t feel hokey, forced, or manufactured. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us!

Great listen!

My preteen boys have really loved this podcast! The length is perfect for their attention spans and Pastor Michael does such a great job of sharing the message of scripture on their level. My boys keep asking to listen to another one as soon as we finish one!

“Chicken and Waffles” has been amazing!✞♱

This podcast has helped me when other things have talked about things against God. This is very helpful! Can you make an episode about how to deal with things in your everyday life that are against God? Btw my father does not believe in the Lord,can you please pray for him? (Chloe,age 10)
