Former professional skateboarder Mikey Taylor recently got real on social media about a personal moment that changed his life and how he sees everything around him.

He started by saying he didn’t realize how many people were feeling the same way he was. Sometimes you think you are alone, but hearing from others reminded him he was not. He thanked everyone who reached out and said it gave him a lot of encouragement and comfort.

On Thursday, Mikey felt something powerful. It was like the Lord was speaking directly to him, telling him he had to make a choice. He could either fear people or fear God.

That is a moment that hits hard when it comes down to it. Mikey chose to go all in with God. He asked for forgiveness and fully committed himself, and the peace and confidence he felt afterward was unbelievable.

He described it as an abundant amount of peace and confidence, and it was clear it lifted a weight off his shoulders.

This story is not just about going to church once and feeling good. Mikey is talking about showing up again and again and keeping that connection alive.

He says the best decision he ever made was accepting Jesus and what was done for him. It gave him clarity he had never felt before. For him, this is not just about faith. It is about life.

He wanted to encourage people who are searching or feeling lost. Even if you went to church today, go next Sunday and the Sunday after that. Keep showing up. For Mikey, accepting Jesus was about shaking off fear, stepping into confidence, and feeling that peace that comes when you know you are covered.

Reading his words, you can tell he is speaking from the heart. It is real and raw. It is the kind of message that makes you think about your own life, your choices, and what would happen if you trusted fully in something bigger than yourself.

Mikey ended his post with love for everyone, showing that this is not just about him. It is about sharing hope with the people around him.

Mikey Posted:

"I didn’t realize how many people were feeling just like me.

Thank you for everyone who reached out. I’m so encouraged by all of you.

On Thursday I felt the Lord telling me, it was time to choose: either fear man or fear Me. I asked for His forgiveness, and told Him I’m all in. He gave me an oversized amount of peace and confidence!

If you went to church today, go again next Sunday and again after that. The best decision I’ve ever made was to accept Jesus’s debt that was paid for me. Love you all!"
