Our Story
Life Forge Ministries was born out of a journey of personal transformation and a desire to help others find joy and meaning in their lives. After turning 40, Michael Morales found himself divorced, lost, and searching for joy. Discovering improv comedy, he began to laugh again and felt the healing power of play and sharing joy with others. Immersed in improv, he started teaching corporate improv workshops to share these healing benefits.
Michael’s journey took a profound turn in 2020 when he lost his two brothers within two weeks. He delivered the eulogy for his older brother just a day after his younger brother passed. Despite his devastation, he remained strong for his mother and nieces. This intense period of grief led Michael to dive deep into self-discovery, purpose, and his walk with God. Through this process, he found a deeper sense of love, joy, peace, and fulfillment.
