Meet Father Brad Bates
Loading player...
Father Brad Bates had a rough childhood growing up in Georgia that led him to serve in the Navy. Having not been brought up in the church, he felt that he had an on and off relationship with God before finding salvation at the age of 22 after serving, and realizing his calling to be in ministry. He joins Denna Hornby to tell his story of how he stopped running from his calling, and what led him to being one of the newest pastors in town as a priest at St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Cookeville.
