Fame at the age of 21 pulled Nathaniel Blackburn into a life that filled all of his sensual and ego-driven desires. And lacking any sort of true understanding of God, it easily lead him toward destruction through addiction and the real possibility of suicide. So how does God pull someone like that into connection with Him and ultimately into a ministry? That’s what Nathaniel and I talk about today.
At 21 years old and a fourth-year student at Virginia Military Institute, Nathaniel Blackburn found fame when he became a cast member for MTV’s The Real World: Seattle in 1998. His celebrity brought temptations that were too great to manage and spiraled him into a life of addiction that cost him everything. In conversation 67, Nathaniel details his long process of true, honest connection with God that has led him from a life of destruction into a life of compassion for others, and ministry as founder of the men’s retreat ministry, True North Retreats.
