Brother Clay Shepard was raised in church under the leadership of his father, a dedicated pastor and preacher. As a pastor’s kid, Clay knew the routine of church, but it wasn’t until the age of 16 that he truly encountered salvation for himself. Though raised around the things of God, he strayed from the path and found himself distant from church and from purpose. In time, the Lord drew him back, filled him with the Holy Ghost, and placed a calling to preach deep in his heart. Clay's journey hasn’t been without struggle—in fact, there was a season where he even despised his own youth. But through God’s mercy and restoration, he now carries a passion to reach others who feel lost, lonely, or left behind. His story is a powerful reminder that God can redeem any heart and raise up any vessel, no matter how far they’ve wandered.
