Mike FurchesI am a speaker, author, and pastor. I have been a part of Hollywood Jesus for a number of years now, almost since the beginning. I make my living by writing and of course speaking. You can visit The Virtual Pew to learn more about me and the topics I present on. I take joy in serving The Lost, The Last, and The Least, whether Christian, or not. I also pastor Mosaic Wichita a church in Wichita Kansas that attempts to serve those who have given up on church.





The Virtual Pew
Have We Experienced The Famiy of God?
Family, More Than Just Blood

Unfortunately, we live in a world that focuses too heavily on individualism. Don’t get me wrong—to discover one’s gifts, talents, to love one’s self, etc.— is important, but one of the ways we discover self is by loving others, by being part of groups and communities.


The Lone Ranger
Johnny Depp As Tonto: Original Americans In Film
One Original American's View

As a person who has enough Original American Blood to claim full Indian Rights, I anxiously await the release of The Lone Ranger. I am also hopeful the film will show the deep spiritual leanings of the Original Americans.


The Moment
Chasing Dreams With Kurt Warner
Tebow, Faith, and Reality Television

In a world that seems to have lost hope in the power of dreams, with The Moment, hope is rediscovered and we see that once again, dreams can become reality.


The Virtual Pew
What is Love
Interactive Message With Video

Unfortunately, people rely on love or what they think love is. More often than not it isn’t so much love as lust that we base our emotions on.


Life of Pi in 3-D
Amazing Search for God
One of the Most Spiritual Films in Years

At a young age, Pi embarks on a spiritual quest that has him appreciating and following concepts within Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. Throughout Life of Pi, the prevailing theme is Pi’s search for God, thus making this film, in my opinion, one of the most spiritual ever released.
