About Addicted Pastor

Follow Me

I am a former Pastor who served at Evangelical Churches. I am married with three children and my family is one of my highest priorities. Years ago, I found myself in a deep, dark place and God began to change me, mold me, and shape me in ways that I could not have imagined. I write from a place of brokenness, hoping that my story will help someone else discover new life and freedom.
