More about Steve
"A life lived from LIES to LOVE...
Whether teaching, writing, or being a husband and father, I approach life with ardent intensity, calling God’s design and desire out of others. But it wasn’t always that way.
As an atheist for 20+ years, I debated the existence of the very God I love today with that same passion and intensity. I searched for a solution to the unceasing, unquenchable desire for something greater than me. I explored multiple religions and cultures only to be temporarily satisfied. Ultimately, I was left lacking true hope or understanding of who I was. I know now that God continued to pursue me, saving me from myself.
In 2002, I experienced complete love and the true fulfillment of my longing for more. This deep satisfaction was achieved when I surrendered myself, my desires, my will, and my pride to The Savior, Jesus Christ.
Shortly after God revealed His desire for me to share with the world that we are never too lost to be found. This is the heart of Now Found Ministries: that you would know and be known by your Creator, Savior, and Counselor, and that you would experience His undying love for you."
