Steve H. Bellman consumed alcohol and drugs heavily before he gave his life to Jesus. However, Bellman, now an ordained Pentecostal minister, struggled over the years with temptation and an occasional relapse.
“Pastors are not supposed to have those problems, so I threw the struggles in the closet and built walls around them,” Bellman, 70, explains. “The guilt, shame, and feeling like a hypocrite kept me from revealing my problem.”
