Pastor Al Peratt Sr.: From Darkness to Light

Some of us have to go to the penitentiaries, some of us have to go to the darkness for a while to realize that it's real.
Born on April Fools' Day in 1948, Pastor Al Peratt Sr.'s life was anything but a joke. His early years were marked by abuse, foster homes, and parents battling alcoholism. As a teenager, his family found Christianity, and Al began attending seminary. However, his own struggles with alcoholism led to expulsion and a descent into addiction and crime, eventually landing him in prison.
In this gripping episode of 'Fortitude', Pastor Al recounts his journey from the depths of despair to finding salvation. He opens up about his battle with addiction, the transformative power of faith, and his commitment to helping others through prison ministry. Pastor Al's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around and make a positive impact.
Whether you're struggling with your own demons or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope and inspiration.
