About Us

Hello, I'm Michael Root. I'm the owner and sole staff member of Bitterroot Lighthouse Consulting (BLC for short). Thank you for your interest in learning more about me and the ministry I have been entrusted with. BLC is an affiliate of Mark Wilson and True North Group of Hayden, ID.

I’ve had a personal relationship with Christ for most of my life. Despite that, God never gave me a specific direction to take with my life and I could never figure out why. If you have ever disliked the question, “What are you going to do when you grow up?” then you know how I felt. Inevitably, I eventually did grow up but still didn’t know how to answer the question. I have lived all over this country and worked in a large variety of professions. From manufacturing to retail, from the military to academia, from security to finance, I’ve dabbled in all of them in an attempt to find something that clicked. If that sounds like a big, disorganized mess of a resume, it is. I had no clue what my purpose was and that led me to wander aimlessly. It was only in 2018 that I was introduced to Pathmaker and had help from a dear friend in finally discovering my God-given purpose. In hindsight, I don’t think that the decades-long wandering was an accident. What was once a disorganized resume of a variety of professions was now a calling to help others who also struggle finding their purpose in life. I look forward to hearing from you.
