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, 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 challenged and a vision for the future offered.
