Steven Buehler

After 25 years as a practicing Protestant (including a pastoral ministry degree from a university affiliated with the Assemblies of God), Steven returned to the Catholic faith of his youth in 2009—but not before passing through a valley of pornography addiction, divorce, unemployment, and bankruptcy.

Through the course of his own recovery, Steven has had the opportunity to share his story as a local speaker, teacher, and small-group leader in the Celebrate Recovery® program, and through his personal blog and podcast Shattering Your Small Cosmos. He also writes and shares about his new experiences as a reverted "cradle Catholic" returning to the fold.

Topics include:

• Social Media for the Timid (three steps to get over your anxiety and jump in)
• Recovery (divorce, addictions, life stories)
• Practical spiritual disciplines
• Making the journey from Protestant/Pentecostal religion to the Catholic faith
• Living with arrested development disorder (Steven was diagnosed in 2005)

Previous engagements include:

• Barcamp Sarasota
