This channel is a long-running personal archive of videos created by Mike Hauser since 2010.
The content spans multiple seasons of life and interests, including:
-Reflections on faith, leadership, and why young people disengage from church
-Youth ministry videos
-Family moments and personal projects
-Curated leadership content from voices that shaped my thinking
-Creative experiments, live events, concerts, and the occasional sports or fun challenge
There isn’t a single theme holding this channel together—other than curiosity, storytelling, and a desire to understand what motivates people and builds community.
Some videos were created professionally, others casually. Some are thoughtful, others joyful. All reflect different chapters of the same journey.
My current work focuses on coaching, podcasting, and helping people grow in their relationships with themselves, others, and God through Encouragement Minus the Sermon. This channel remains a personal archive of earlier work.
