Episode 272. Walking Free with Micah Tyler

In this episode, recording artist Micah Tyler and Rebecca chat about his new book Walking Free: Taking Small Steps To A Big God!

Songwriter and recording artist Micah Tyler writes, performs, and lives out "battle-tested" music that gives glory to his God. Micah is the recipient of multiple Dove and K-LOVE Award nominations, and has written four BMI Top 25 Christian Songs. Along with five number #1 radio hits, his song Different is certified Gold by RIAA. Today, Micah's performance schedule ranges from youth camps to conferences to touring with other artists.

Micah's story up until his break-through into commercial success was, in the best sense of the word, different. Hailing from the small town of Buna, Texas, he spent his young adult years as a youth pastor. The future artist picked up the guitar to fill the need in his ministry for worship leadership, and from that time God's calling for his life got louder and larger than he could possibly have imagined. After nine years, Micah left his stable job as youth pastor, moved his family into a single-wide trailer, and began traveling the region performing his music. Micah recalls, "I told the Lord, 'I don't know how to be a professional musician, but you've taught me to be faithful.'" With few connections in the music industry, Micah made ends meet by working as a sausage delivery truck driver while he pursued his calling. The story of Micah's music career serves as a testimony that, with a little faith and a big God, incredible things are possible.

Micah and Rebecca talk about:

  • Micah's testimony (and when God made it clear he was supposed to pursue music)

  • What does faithfulness mean?

  • The story behind his song Different

  • What spurred the idea of his new book Walking Free

  • Pursuing a relationship with Jesus despite external circumstances

  • How songwriting is different than writing a book
