Mike Lyon

Mike Lyon ran away from home on his Big Wheel at 5-yrs old. This first adventure led to his adult wanderlust and future discussions of faith with friends and strangers. His writing balances work as an entrepreneur, visual artist, and navigating life as a Jesus freak. Now Mike is an author of Christian non-fiction with his books God Porn and I’m Not Hitler. His weekly blog is sprinkled with doses of entrepreneurial giddy-up, amazing non-profits, and curation of art, film and music.

As a serial entrepreneur, having spent 20+ years with various startups in technology and content. He's Executive Director of men's ministry Kinetic Groove, and was former Biblical Director at Dallas-based recovery program Men of Nehemiah. He’s been a Director-Producer, and worked as a visual artist, including two solo shows and a group show at the Dallas Museum of Art. He's a boxing instructor, and has led or been a part of multiple humanitarian aid trips to Haiti, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Cuba, El Salvador, Africa and India.

A 6th generation Texan, his favorite proteins are Chimay and Maredsous Belgian Ales, and Rocky Patel cigars, which contribute to his tangential threads. He never turns the channel when Goodfellas, GlenGarry GlenRoss, or The Outlaw Josey Wales are on the telly.
