You may know me from my YouTube videos while out walking my dog, or from reading my articles on the Roofing Salesman website, or my past speaking engagements with GAF Roofing. While I love flying out to work with my consulting clients and their teams, or hosting private 1-1 consulting calls from my home office in Mansfield, Texas, not everyone is ready to make that kind of investment to work with me privately. ✈️ The Human CRM© in the Mike Coday Community now gives hungry, driven company owners like you the opportunity to get all of my trainings and all of my future work (no contracts, 3-day preview).

Randy is a native of Oklahoma who migrated to Texas while in junior high. Upon completion of a bachelor’s degree in religion at Baylor University, he married his college sweetheart, Marlo, and began work on what would one day become an earned master of divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He currently serves as one of the three co-pastors and has been a part of c|Life since it began in 2006. Randy is affectionately referred to as the “staff police” and is always available to join you for a meal. Randy and Marlo, along with their kids — Sydney, Micah and Sutton — make their home in Kaufman. You can keep up with Randy at www.randyjwade.com

David Griffin serves as one of our co-pastors at c|Life. He has been with the church from its inception in 2006. David’s favorite thing to do is spend time with his wife, Courtney, and their five school-aged kids. We would try to name them all, but we would undoubtedly leave someone out. David suffers from a pathological love of sports and enjoys long, analytical conversations with friends. Despite the fact that David is a bit “nervy” and a chronic over-explainer, he is relationally focused (even if his ADD does cause him to occasionally ignore even those friends who are closest to him). He cherishes the unrushed opportunity to have lunch with new people and hear their stories. David has a bachelor’s degree from Baylor University and a master’s degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Even though Blake was born in Texas and is proud of it, he is one of the biggest Oregon Duck fans you’ll ever meet. He and his wife, Kristin, were married in 2003 and have four kiddos: Cade, Avie, Nate and Niya. Blake joined c|Life shortly after it started in 2006. He graduated from Texas A&M Commerce with a bachelor’s degree in communications, which only took him seven years. He is an aspiring hunter and is always ready to meet someone for a cup of coffee. The last thing you need to know about Blake is he loves Jesus and people.
