Finding Purpose Beyond Pain

from The Odyssey of a Former Fat Kid

Alex McElroy joins Bryan to share his powerful journey from brokenness to purpose. Growing up without a father, facing anger and rejection, and falling into destructive choices, Alex eventually found freedom in Christ and discovered his mission: helping others build a confirmed, confident, and eternal relationship with God. Together, they explore purpose, fellowship, leadership, and how to move past comparison to live with clarity and conviction. Alex McElroy is an international speaker, TEDx speaker, leadership advisor, pastor, Apologist, author and creator for Relentless Pursuit of Purpose on YouTube. Alex has been instrumental in implementing his message of leadership and purpose in the ministry, non-profit and business world and has enjoyed tremendous success in the mortgage industry, insurance and financial services. He is also a dedicated husband to his supportive wife of 17 years and a loving father to two beautiful daughters. Though living in his purpose now, Alex has experienced and overcome significant struggles and setbacks in life. He suffered the loss of his father at a young age, the loss of his mother more recently, dealt with drug and alcohol abuse in his college years, and found himself in an angry, depressed and lonely place as he endured financial hell that resulted in bankruptcy and desperation. Thankfully, these arduous moments served to reveal Alex’s purpose. Now Alex travels the world coaching and training others to discover their unique purpose and lead with purpose, because he is a firm believer that everyone has been created on purpose with a purpose! _________ Connect with Alex: Email: [email protected] IG & FB: @alexrmcelroy Website: www.proofforthetruth.org YouTube: @relentlesspursuitofpurpose
