Faith Is Not Safe
Drunk Pastor is not about a clean, polished “faith” dialogue. That’s not how my story—nor yours—unfolded. This is for those willing to question, wrestle, and dive deeper into faith, ideas, and life. You’ll find scriptural musings, philosophical rabbit trails, Christian mysticism, recovery thoughts, psychological introspections, and honest reflections.
Born out of a journey through addiction and faith, Drunk Pastor aims to spark real conversations, challenge assumptions, and be a resource for those searching. American Evangelical assumptions will be deconstructed and a biblical vision for the future offered.

About Drunk Pastor
Paule is a “recovering pastor” who has walked through the struggles of addiction, mental health challenges, and a deep crisis of faith.
For years, Paule served as an evangelical pastor, but behind the pulpit, he was hiding a battle with alcoholism and feeling disconnected from the very faith he preached. He struggled with the gap between church doctrine, reality, and real-life challenges, unsure of how he fit in and dealing with shame.
With over three years of sobriety, he now shares his journey openly, offering an authentic look at the Bible, life, faith, spirituality, church, and society.
