Michael Eagle

Michael Eagle has worked for 27 years as a physician assistant in orthopedic surgery in settings such as the Mayo Clinic and Vanderbilt University Medical School. He is an ex-marathon runner (having run eighteen marathons) and completed two Ironman Events. He has an interest in nutrition and exercise and how it relates to the human body, (thus his interested in the medial aspects of fasting in his book and study guide). Jesus finally took a hold of Mike in his late 30's and did an overhaul on his heart, and and soul. In Mike's journey to know Jesus more fully, he embarked on a journey that took him through a 3 year ordination course through Harpeth Christian Church. He was ordained as an elder and was inspired to further his education in theological studies through TCM International where he completed a discipleship course and is finishing up his master's degree in 2021. It is there where he met his co-author David Roadcup, who was teaching on discipleship. When tasked with writing about fasting and prayer, Mike spent a considerable amount of time in research and was convicted that God was illuminating an art so beautiful and profound that he couldn't understand why the American church did not know more about fasting. The connection with prayer and fasting became a passion for Mike which inspired him to write on this subject first in his book on 'Prayer and Fasting - Moving with the Spirit To Renew Our minds, Bodies, And Churches' (with David Roadcup) and also in a stand alone study guide he wrote with input from his wonderful wife Michelle. Mike and Michelle partner in ministry and are part of the restoration movement of churches, returning to apostolic Christianity and the importance of scripture and discipleship. Mike and Michelle have been married for 27 years as of 2020 and have two children, Courtney and Mason. They live in Thompson Station Tennessee.
