Michael Adam Beck is an "anairetoi." In ancient Rome, this was a child saved from the trash heap… “a picked-up one.” Born as a casualty of the raging crack epidemic of the 1980's. He became a street kid, ninth grade drop-out, and repeat felon. He was “picked up” by the local Methodist church and nurtured in a community of love and forgiveness. Today Reverend Dr. Michael Beck is a pastor, professor, coach, and consultant. He serves as the Director of the Fresh Expressions House of Studies at United Theological Seminary, Director of Fresh Expressions Florida, and Director of Fresh Expressions for The United Methodist Church. Michael is “a spiritual guide who helps people heal, love, and unleash imagination to create better lives, organizations, and communities.” He is the founder of Michael Adam Beck & Associates LLC and the Passional Church Movement. Michael and wife Jill are co-pastors of Compassion/St Marks UMCs, and a network of fresh expressions gathering in tattoo parlors, dog parks, burrito joints, EV charging stations, chemical dependency units, and digital spaces. They oversee a holistic recovery housing program for men and women located in their churches (Open Arms Village), and a sober living house. Beck is the author of fifteen books and considered a global thought leader in the Fresh Expressions movement.
