Sean Owen is a Christian speaker, author, recovery advocate, and founder of Disciple Lifestyle Ministries. His story points people to the hope of Jesus Christ and the transforming power of a life surrendered to Him.
Sean speaks from lived experience. His message is simple: God can redeem a broken life, following Jesus changes how we live, and every believer can help reach one more.
Sean's story is not one of having everything figured out. By age 15, alcohol had already become part of his life. By 17, drugs, dealing, and destructive choices had taken him even further. At 18, he entered recovery through AA and NA, and six months later he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ.
Over the years, Sean has served in recovery ministry, youth ministry, and Christian discipleship. His journey has included years of sobriety, ministry, failure, relapse, restoration, and the continuing grace of God. Those experiences have shaped the way he speaks about faith. He doesn't speak as someone who has lived a perfect Christian life. He speaks as someone who knows how desperately he needs Jesus.
Today, Sean's desire is simple: help people know Jesus, grow in God's Word, live out their faith, and reach one more person with the hope they have found in Christ.
Sean shares his story of addiction, recovery, coming to Christ, relapse, restoration, and the grace of God that continues to sustain him. A message of hope for people who wonder whether God can redeem a broken life.
Following Jesus is more than attending church or identifying as a Christian. Sean challenges believers to make knowing Jesus, growing in God's Word, and living out their faith part of everyday life.
Drawing from decades of experience in recovery and Christian ministry, Sean speaks about dependence on God, accountability, failure, restoration, and continuing to move forward when life does not go according to plan.
Making disciples is not reserved for pastors, missionaries, or ministry professionals. Sean encourages ordinary Christians to recognize the people God has already placed around them and intentionally help one more person take a step toward Jesus.
