Nate Larkin
Nate Larkin thought revealing his addiction would end his ministry. He never thought bringing it to the light would do just the opposite. Addicted to hard-core pornography yet serving in ministry, Larkin lived a double life and constantly feared being caught—ruining his reputation. Even though his frequent rendezvous with women and videos left him emptier every time, he still went back for more searching for a fulfillment that would never come. Losing the trust of his wife forced him to move out of the shadows and into liberation. A preacher’s kid, Nate earned an undergraduate degree from St. Lawrence University, where he majored in Religious Studies, and an M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary. Nate is the founder of the Samson Society and Samson House and is co-host of the Pirate Monk Podcast.
Nate and Allie have three children and seven grandchildren. They live in Franklin, Tennessee, where they enjoy the family atmosphere of small-town life.
