“I Didn’t Find Him, He Found Me”, with Nebiye Kelile

Though he’s known as “Pastor Neb” to his congregation at Pathway City Church in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, Nebiye Kelile didn’t always lead a Christ-centered life. Though he was born into a devoutly Christian Ethiopian-immigrant family, he strayed from the Lord in his teenage years before recognizing the unfulfilling path he was on and returning home as a real-life “prodigal son.” Now having rediscovered the Lord, Pastor Neb can offer plenty of advice borne from experience—both for men desperately trying to break free of sin, and for men who have rediscovered their faith but are struggling to build a deep connection with the Lord. That guidance, along with reflections on fatherhood and tips for a more satisfying prayer life, are the topics he discusses with Nate Dewberry in this week’s enlightening episode of The Redeemed Man.
