Deputy Chief Chaplain Steve Neatherlin DDCS
Humble House Crisis Ministries

Heb 2:11 - He purifies people from their sins, and both he and those who are made pure all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his family.

Chaplain Steve Neatherlin is the Deputy Chief Director of Drug Rehab programs for Chaplain Fellowship Ministries. Chaplain Neatherlin is the founder and president of the Humble House Crisis Ministries in Temple Texas. Chaplain Neatherlin walks the walk because he has been there! The following is in Chaplain Neatherlin's own words.

It's not about me! What a statement to begin my story with, but it is true! You see, I realize that my story is for His glory. I had nothing to offer Jesus when He called me. I was a junkie and a drunk. My life was driven by self and fulfilling the desires of my flesh!

I started using drugs at nine years old. At the age of thirteen I actually started shooting up with a needle! My life got caught in a whirlwind of rebellion. My interest in school and future dreams dissolved, and I lived in an illusion daily. Then, I began dealing drugs and that resulted with me using more and more. I quit school at the age of sixteen, and wound up married. I entered into the relationship with hurt, anger and with no trust. Needless to say, the marriage ended in divorce five years later.

I spent most of my childhood life in an adult world without God! I have been arrested in Bell county alone seventeen times - all behind my rebellious way of life. I found myself feeling hopeless and had purposed to just end my life. I began to drink and use drugs even more heavily. I was so bitter that I destroyed all of my relationships with fighting and finding fault. Then, one night, after shooting up some drugs, I was drawing - and God's convicting power through the Holy Spirit moved upon my heart!

My drawing transformed before my eyes and revealed to me that if I were to die at that moment, I would be on my way to Hell! Immediately, I went to the bathroom, fell on my knees and cried out to Jesus. I said, "Lord Jesus, forgive me and save me, because I don't want to die today and be in Hell!" That very moment I was radically changed! No church, no choir, just Jesus!! He came into my heart that very moment and I have never been the same.

Today, after some shaping and molding in my life, the Lord has me at the Humble House. I am now an ordained Chaplain and minister, and I am a faith-based counselor and a loving father. What a difference Jesus can make! I've given my life to help others who have suffered like me. My hope and desire is to extend God's Kingdom in a hurting world. I have totally surrendered to the call of God on my life, and in this, I have found meaning, purpose and peace. So, again, I came to realize that there is more to life than what can be seen, that's why and I know today that It's not about Steve!"
