Brandon Bower is a passion driven visionary with a heart to see the lost and hurting come to know the healing power of Jesus Christ through salvation. His faith in Christ has radically changed his life, and his desire for others to know his Savior is evident through his passion for Christ-centered discipleship and gospel-centered teaching. 

Brandon is the founder of The Lighthouse: A Biblical Life Recovery Center, a ministry focused on helping the hurting and broken come to know Christ as Savior, as well as re-establish life in the community through Christcentered discipleship, transitional housing for men, one-on–one mentorship, and biblically based teaching presented through various avenues: Life Skills groups, community training, mentorship, etc.  Having run from God as a young adult, Brandon is no stranger to the hurting and broken. Growing up in Chicago as a pastor’s kid, Brandon found himself living two very different lives—one being the “good” pastor’s kid and the other being a young, rebellious teenager running far from God. It was in that time of running that God brought Brandon back to Himself, saving him from his sin of believing lies and living in rebellion.  Through law-enforced counseling, God continued to work in Brandon’s heart, giving him a deep passion and sensitivity toward reaching those who have and are experiencing similar difficulties. Knowing that true freedom can only be found through Christ and Christ alone, Brandon has set out on a mission to seek out the hurting and broken and share the hope of Christ with them.

Pursuing his education, Brandon received his Masters in Biblical Counseling through Trinity Theological Seminary. In addition Brandon holds a state license as a Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor. In 2017 Brandon became a licensed minister, extending his efforts to reach more hurting people through preaching God’s Word. 

In his years of addiction work, Brandon began to see a fundamental piece of the recovery process that was missing. The 3—6 month programs offered in our community were a start but not the final step to helping an addict fully recover. There needed to be a second phase to the process, a longer-term process of helping the addict regain his/her footing in the community while at the same time keeping Christ as a focus in recovery. 

And this is the victory that has overcome the world our faith... https://overcomerstv.live/
