Dr. Kent Michael

Dr. Kent Michael I’m a leadership consultant and developmental psychologist, serving as Executive Director of the Alabama Center for Pastoral Resilience.

I work with pastors and ministry leaders and care deeply about resilient, emotionally steady leadership. I’ve spent more than a decade helping leaders grow in clarity, resilience, and purpose. As a leadership coach and educator, I’ve taught at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and have led training seminars for businesses, schools, and faith-based organizations. Coming from generations of

ministers, I know firsthand how demanding the work of ministry can be. That lived experience fuels my desire to serve as a trusted resource for pastors and Christian leaders as they navigate the emotional, relational, and vocational challenges of leadership. I hold a Master of Education in Marriage and Family Counseling from the University of Montevallo and a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from The University of Alabama. At home, I enjoy quiet weekends with my wife and our three children. My favorite pastimes include fly fishing, hiking, watching Alabama football, and producing music for our church.

So immensely proud of my colleague and friend, Dr. Samantha G. Smith, on the publication of her new book, Assaulted Body...

So immensely proud of my colleague and friend, Dr. Samantha G. Smith, on the publication of her new book, Assaulted Body, Assaulted Faith: A Trauma Theology of Sexual Assault.

Sam brings together deep scholarship, compassion, and courage to address one of the most difficult realities many people face. I’m grateful for her voice, her work, and the difference I know this book will make for survivors, pastors, counselors, and anyone seeking a more faithful response to trauma.
