Paule Patterson III is a writer, former pastor, and development strategist based in Missoula, Montana. Raised in Idaho Falls, Paule grew up in a half-Mormon town and came to Christianity as a teenager, diving deep into youth groups, apologetics, and theological debate. He attended a Restorationist Bible college in Boise, took philosophy and psych classes at Boise State, and later enrolled in an MBA program at the University of Montana.His career began in traditional ministry roles—interning, pastoring, and eventually leading a church plant in Missoula. That trajectory collapsed under the weight of addiction, mental health struggles, and ego. After a second stint in rehab (2021), sobriety finally took hold. In recovery, Paule began reconstructing his faith and life.He now runs Stigma Marketing & Development, consults on authenticity-first strategy, and launching the Every Human’s Journey™ framework he developed. His work spans marketing, suicide prevention, spiritual writing, and organizational development.Paule’s writing is confessional, complex, and unapologetically layered—reflecting his lived experience of failure, growth, and stubborn grace. He’s still unlearning. Still recovering. Still writing. And he’s not done yet.
