The Father’s Life
The Father’s Life, with Michael Pierce is a regular conversation where we lean into the heart of God and discover together what it means to live as His sons and daughters. For nearly five decades, Michael has carried the heart of a spiritual father, walking with people of every generation and helping them step into the fullness of who God created them to be. Alongside his wife Ann, Christ For Your City was founded in 1995, and together they’ve served churches and communities across Canada and around the world. This podcast is more than teaching—it’s a shared table. A place of stories and honest conversations where the family of God can gather and grow. Here, we press into His presence, listen for His voice, and remind one another of who we are and to whom we belong! The Father’s Life invites you to join the journey with us. You are not alone—you are part of a family, shaped by grace and rooted in His love.
