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 the Bible, faith, and life. You’ll find scriptural musings, philosophical rabbit trails, Christian mysticism, recovery thoughts, psychological introspections, and honest reflections.

Born out of a long journey with addiction, 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’s walked through the struggles with addiction, mental health struggles, and crises of faith.

For years, Paule served as an evangelical pastor, but behind the pulpit, he was hiding a battle with identity and insecurity, with ego and comfort. There was a disconnect between what he preached and how he lived. After the wreckage he caused with his family and church, he struggled with the gap between church doctrine, reality, and real-life challenges, unsure of how he fit in and how to deal with shame.

Now, with over three years of sobriety, he shares about his journey and writes about the subjects he still loves, offering an authentic look at the Bible, spirituality, and humanity.
