This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, But you said 'We will not walk in it.'

“We accept radical behavior in many areas of human endeavor. Why can’t we accept radical behavior in a heart that is panting and longing for God? Let us get off the easy train ride, with all of the beautiful scenery, and get back on that radical path that leads directly into the heart of our Father, who art in heaven.” - A.W. Tozer

What is the Old Lost Trail?

In 2025, we received a $40k gift from a follower of the ministry, thinking maybe we could purchase a car.  Instead, we invested it all into a 40-episode teaching series filmed on Heavenly Mountain in Lake Tahoe, using the real footage and stories from my 14 year journey of faith, while tracing out all the Biblical principles and insights along the way.

Testimonials

  • I'm following every step on the New channel! The messages and the footage and teaching are so good. That message Michael repeats at the end the of each video is getting ingrained in my mind "these parables are real" etc... and that is so important for me to hold onto.

  • Just finished watching Ep 4, Wow was so encouraging! It's prompted me to sit down and do what I started a few years ago and write down all of God's promises and commandments. Without both of these I will be walking on one leg. I'll go look at your download of promises also. Love You Guys! Man I'm so excited to start this journey all over again. What a wonderful Ministry the Lord has you both doing. God bless you!

  • I continue to really appreciate The Old Lost Trail videos, the vitally important content, the excellent presentation, and the testimonies. These are so valuable and address what sadly most other 'Christian' ministries are not addressing!

    Mark S.

  • I just wanted to thank you for the series which has blessed me in several ways.  Both the teaching & the testimonies.  The Lord is calling me to faith on a couple of (big) things for me & the videos are giving me the encouragement I need 🙂 Thank you Jesus.

  • God bless you for this powerful work of teaching the true Christianity!  THANK YOU 🙏 For the first time ever I’m scared to click the play button lol I feel scared, confused and more importantly angry at myself (sometimes God too) God bless you as you guys work so hard to open eyes and hearts ✝️🙏 Much love.

  • This episode has been encouraging to me while I am going through a painful stripping from the Lord in my circumstances, particularly with family members and finances. May Father in heaven continue to give you grace and strength to do His will in regards to the Old Lost Trail and I pray that many may come to hear and be blessed by the messages you put out there being taught and spoken to you from the Lord Jesus.

  • When I see God's wonderful creation it often brings me to tears... thank you for showing us the trail, I look forward to more glimpses of God's glory on earth :) This episode brought praise! God has been digging around me, watering me, and removing dead branches from me. Thank you Michael and Lisa for your hard work on this!

    @KB-jo8ld

  • This is the best evangelism and the greatest and most helpful videos I have ever seen or heard, and I have watched hundreds of Zac Poonen, Francis Chan and Leonard Ravenhill teachings, there is nothing I would put on the level of that until I found this. My opinion is, that Christ is working through "The Old Lost Trail" in an unprecedented way.

    @pugglesprindle2698

  • Incredible timing for this video in my timeline of life, I still need to find our Father but I think He is bringing me closer everyday. Thankyou for all the bountiful and succulent fruit in your messages.

    @fflux3275

  • I love the climb, would love to climb that. Great video, reminded me of few scriptures and how we need to watch out everyday, and stay away from sins. Thank you Michael and Lisa ❤️‍

    Agata M.

  • Definitely conviction brother! Things were coming to mind as I was watching. Needing to let go of things and trust in the Lord and believe for His grace to overcome them. There is also some praise as I recall to mind the encouragement the Lord gave me from you Michael about having a fantastic testimony to share one day.

    Garret L.

  • Love this. Very encouraging. Looking forward to the next video. Thank you Michael and Lisa for the hard work and obedience. God bless.

    @dmott9750

  • Great Analogy!! 👍👍🙌🙌Big thank you brother Michael as I know that this climb was not easy and the recordings, stopping, going back etc made it even harder. But thank you for your obedience to God. This is such an on time series for me right now. To God be all the Glory, can't wait to hear more. Such a beautiful video with beautiful testimonies. Thanks for your transparency with the moments of fear. I identified with alot of the beautiful brethren here. Very touching.

    @Purefaith77

  • I cannot stop listening to these! Wow!!! Easy Believism exposed me tonight, listening to you and your wife, resonated on so many levels. Father, Thank You for leading me here tonight, there is a plan, nothing is coincidental. I have been praying, feeling so empty and lost, He led me to this trail. Thank you for sharing your faith 😊

  • Back to my Bible I go because I am certainly dehydrated. Thank you Michael. I've got to say sometimes your messages are hard to swallow, but I thank God for them.

    @TheKerripope

  • Truth runs off your tongue like a flowing river brother! Thank You for lighting the path for many lost souls to Christ Jesus. Many are being deceived and led through the wide gate into destruction. If you save only one soul with your YouTube channel it's worth it. Love you brother I look forward to spending eternity together and getting to know you better.

    @I-am-Veritas

  • I want to start with an apology. I realized in watching your recent videos that I have not been remembering the form of Christianity that you handed to me, and I did not appreciate just how great the lengths have been that you had taken for yourself to keep what you preach so biblically sound, and especially how seriously you take the call to not be entangled by the world and walk that out for us to replicate by your good example in frount of us.
