Fatherhood Support Specialist, Buckner International

"Dr. Ayers was the keynote for our East Texas Fatherhood Summit. His message answers the question every father asks: “Whats my role in all of this?” Through practical, real-life lessons, Mike equips fathers with tools they can put into action while offering encouragement and honest insight into the challenges, responsibilities, and joys of fatherhood."

Rodney Olsen

Host, Bleeding Daylight Podcast

"If you host a podcast for dads, parents, or anyone navigating family life, Dr. Mike Ayers needs to be on your guest list. Mike came fully prepared, knew his material inside and out, and delivered practical, actionable advice that your listeners can actually use. He brings a rare combination of academic credibility, real-world pastoral experience, and genuine warmth that makes for compelling, relatable conversation. No fluff, no filler, just honest, grounded insight from someone who's lived it. I highly recommend reaching out to Mike for your show."

Rory Paquette

Host, Power of Man Podcast

"Dr. Ayers was a spectacular guest! We hit it off from moment #1! There are nowhere near enough men in this space, where we encourage fathers and husbands to take stock of their lives, take accountability and become part of their own solution. This man belongs in this space, helping other men. His story is authentic and real and it comes from such an honest countenance that you get pulled in from the start. He leads with a purpose, wrapped around a servant's heart. This was a great conversation with a powerful leader of men and I look forward to our paths crossing again in the future."

Roy Wooten

Host and Executive Director, The Crucible Project
