In this deeply moving episode of EVOLVE Thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur, author, and speaker Michelle Berman-Mikel — a woman whose story of faith, surrender, and resilience reminds us that God often rewrites our lives in ways we could never plan.
From walking away from a broken engagement just 80 days before her wedding to rediscovering her identity beyond athleticism and building a faith-filled business, Michelle’s journey is a testament to how God gives us a mess to reveal our message.
She shares her transformation from an elite CrossFit athlete to a wife, mother, and spiritual leader alongside her husband, a retired Green Beret. Their story reveals how surrendering to divine redirection can bring healing, purpose, and deeper connection — not only in marriage but in business and calling.
Michelle’s courage to speak God’s name boldly from the stage challenges all of us to live our faith out loud, even when the world says to quiet down. This episode will leave you inspired to trust the unseen, release what no longer serves you, and allow God to work miracles in the most unexpected places.
Lessons Learned:
Surrender isn’t weakness — it’s alignment. Letting go of what you can’t control allows space for divine redirection.
Faith must be lived, not just believed. Your actions, team, and environment should reflect your spiritual alignment.
God’s “no” is protection, not rejection. The detours — even painful ones like loss or failure — often lead to deeper purpose.
Partnership thrives through shared faith. When both partners surrender individually, they grow stronger together.
Your voice carries divine power. God didn’t call you to whisper — He called you to witness.
The Gift of This Episode:
A reminder that surrendering control doesn’t diminish your strength — it unlocks your purpose. When you walk by faith, God takes what was broken and turns it into beauty.
