For more than 20 years, as a leader in many different ministries, Michelle has been guiding Christians through the kind of deep, identity-level transformation that changes not just how they feel but how they function — in their faith, their relationships, their calling, and their organizations. Drawing from her background as a leader in the technology industry and process improvement, Michelle brings a rare combination of theological grounding and systems thinking to the leaders and ministries she serves. She helps them not only grow spiritually but operate with greater effectiveness, intentionality, and impact — one degree at a time. Michelle is a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, Speaker and Trainer, and Amen Brain Health Licensed Trainer. She is the co-creator of the Faith, Fear and Your Promised Land Bible study alongside her husband, Pastor Tim Shields. Together, they host the CONTENT Christian Media Conference where Michelle is the Design Producer of the Honor Awards, and the Director of the Literary Awards. Whether she is coaching an individual through a season of transition, consulting with a ministry on organizational health, teaching from a conference stage, or creating resources that disciple and equip — Michelle’s mission is the same: Help you become who God created you to be so you can do what He created you to do.
