Born in Smithville, Tennessee, in 1987, Steve Loring served eleven years in the United States Coast Guard. During that time, he struggled with alcoholism and embraced atheism. Following a DUI in 2016 and his subsequent dismissal from military service, Steve began a difficult journey toward recovery—one marked by years of setbacks and hardship.

It was in his lowest season that he encountered the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Since then, Steve has been baptized in the name of the Jesus, filled with the Holy Ghost, and transformed by the power of God.

Today, Steve is devoted to his faith, his family, his church and his calling. He is married to his wife, Allissa, and together they are raising their two daughters, Bellamy and Amelia. Steve is also a writer and is currently developing a multi-part devotional series for jail ministry.
