When the world shut down, Mike Messer opened a door — or rather, a live stream.
This week on Come Back To Earth, Mike shares how during the uncertainty of the pandemic, he created Adoraborealis, a recording project and a digital sanctuary where “cooped up concerts” became a source of light and community.
With a catchphrase that felt like a warm hug — “I see you and I love you” — Mike spoke his own fears out loud and invited an online audience into a space of forgiveness, hope, and belonging.
Before our conversation, I reflect on “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles — a classic tune that feels like a sunrise after a long night. It’s the perfect anthem for Mike’s story of light returning in the darkest times.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
* How live-streamed music became a lifeline in isolation
* The power of small moments of connection during global uncertainty
* Why forgiveness and encouragement are central to Mike’s art
* Building community in a digital world
* And the hope that music can bring, even through a screen
This episode is for anyone searching for light in a time of darkness.
