Michael Ketterer, a pediatric mental health nurse and United Pursuit member-turned worship pastor at Influence Church, certainly has his hands full as a husband and dad of six.
But this inspiring father wasn’t about to let that get in his way of pursuing his dreamings.
“My family is the reason I’m here,” Ketterer told the “America’s Got Talent” judges before his act. “One of the things that happens, especially because my children came out of foster care, when you’re surviving, you can’t dream. And that has been one of the most rewarding things — providing them with a home and a safe environment where they are free to dream.”
He believes that by being a role model dream-chaser, he will inspire his children to do the same… and Ketterer did just THAT when he took to the stage to perform his breathtaking version of “To Love Somebody” that left the audience roaring in applause and all four judges on their feet.
