Page 198: Stephen McWhirter: “Come Jesus Come” Singer’s Transformation from Meth Addict to Worship Leader

The Unfolding

Stephen McWhirter grew up watching his traveling evangelist dad live a double life. He was one man behind the pulpit and abusive to Stephen’s mother at home. Stephen decided that if God was real, He wasn’t good. His earthly father and his heavenly father became the villains in his story. Angry and rebellious, Stephen fell into addiction, eventually addicted to meth for six years. But one night in a miraculous encounter, Stephen experienced the presence and love of God, and he’s never been the same. Today Stephen is a worship leader and singer of “Come Jesus Come.” Nearly 40,000 people have come to know Jesus through his TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram lives.
