Sean OwenChristian Speaker, Author, Recovery Advocate, and Founder of Disciple Lifestyle Ministries

Sean Owen is living proof that God can redeem anyone and use them to reach people no one else can reach.

By the age of fifteen, Sean was an alcoholic, and by seventeen he had become addicted to drugs. To support his addictions, he entered a life of drug dealing and criminal activity. In September 1986, at the age of eighteen, he was introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. Six months later, he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ, beginning a lifelong journey of recovery, discipleship, and ministry. Today, he has been clean and sober for many years and continues to share a message of hope, recovery, and spiritual transformation through Jesus Christ.

Over the following decades, Sean served in recovery ministries throughout the Washington, D.C. and Atlanta metropolitan areas before answering God's call into church leadership. He later received a scholarship to attend Bible college, earned a Certificate in Post Modern Culture, and was ordained into ministry. Sean also founded and led the Overcomers Ministry, helping individuals find freedom and hope through a Christ-centered approach to recovery. Sean is the author of Disciple Lifestyle: A Simple Plan for a Blessed Life and its companion workbook. Through Disciple Lifestyle Ministries, he has also published Journey Through Scripture and The 30 Day Gratitude Challenge, while developing a series of children's Bible story resources and an online Bible study platform designed to equip believers around the world.

Sean has spoken to audiences ranging from small discipleship groups and recovery meetings to churches, ministry events, and gatherings of several thousand people. Whether speaking on discipleship, recovery, leadership, evangelism, or Christian living, his passion is to help people know Jesus, grow in faith, live with purpose, and make disciples who make disciples.

Sean and his wife have four children and are active members of Cross Atlanta Church in Cumming, Georgia. He is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Ministry Leadership while continuing to expand the reach of Disciple Lifestyle Ministries through speaking, writing, publishing, and digital discipleship initiatives.

Sean's life verse is 1 Peter 3:15, which reflects his commitment to helping believers always be prepared to give a reason for the hope they have in Jesus Christ.
