Mike Novotny is a co-pastor at The CORE, a downtown church in Appleton, WI, with a passion to prioritize people who are far from God. As lead speaker for Time of Grace, a media ministry that connected with people more than 54 million times over various platforms in 2019, Mike teaches people to seek God first, see God in all his glory, and be satisfied with God, even if God is all they have. He loves dating his wife and two daughters, continuing his streak of 35 years of playing organized soccer, running long distances (even when not being chased), and reading anything he can get his hands on.
