Grandson Of Beloved Pastor Dr. Charles Stanley Reflects On His Grandfather's Legacy😭

He talked about the memories he had with his grandfather and how he helped him escape addiction and drugs

In his words he said

I have been addicted to drugs and alcohol since about the age of 18. That's when the daily cravings to get as high as possible for as long as possible started. I've been on a rocky road to recovery and learning how to build my own faith has been a mess, but I eventually came back around after getting sober to the realization that yes, Jesus really did rise from the dead. I want to give a special shout out to Pastor Paul from my church in Dallas, HPUMC, who helped me find my way into the 12-step communities. It's been a roller-coaster of madness since trying to get sober, but I will never give up.
Today, 1 am on an anti depressant and bipolar medication that really helps me. I go to 12-step meetings in person and online. I go to church at HPUMC, I think it's one of the best most warm, fun, loving, churches you can find. The sermons are FIRE and the music is majestic. They preach the gospel hardcore despite everyone thinking "oh that's a methodist church they don't teach the gospel there," lol... haters be hatin'
If you're still reading this I'd like to say thank you.
Listen, my life is better because you are a part of it.

Pastor Charles Stanley's son also Andy, shared a heartfelt message about how he spent the final weeks visiting and praying with his father.

Charles Stanley died Tuesday at 90 at his home in Atlanta.

He was the driving engine of one of the largest faith organizations in the world, In Touch Ministries, and was long the influential pastor of First Baptist Church of Atlanta.

Andy Stanley is now a hugely influential minister in his own right, as pastor of North Point Community Church in Alpharetta.

On Twitter on Wednesday, Andy Stanley shared his final touching memories with his dad.

He wrote:

These final few weeks with my dad have been precious beyond words.

At the end of every visit, he asked me to pray for him. Which of course I did.

On my knees beside the big leather chair he was confined to for the past several months. But as I was leaving his house this past Saturday night, he asked if he could pray for me.

As if he knew. Then, as was his habit, he said, “I couldn’t be prouder of you Andy.” 

The source of a word determines its weight. Those were wonderfully weighty words. And his final words to me. 

I’ll miss him every day until I see him again.

Those were the words Dr.Stanley told the son before transcending to heaven

Upon the news of his death Tuesday, Charles Stanley's church said he will be truly missed as his reach extended far beyond the metro area. 

Stanley was born on September 25, 1932 in Virginia.

The church said he first got a calling to ministry at 14year old ,imagine!

He would then go to school in Texas to get his degree in divinity.

He moved to Atlanta to get his doctorate degree in theology. 
Stanley preached all over the country -- from Ohio to Florida before landing in Atlanta. 


His show, "The Chapel Hour," aired on 11Alive in the '70s. The show would then be syndicated nationwide. It was renamed to "In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley," where he taught the country about the bible. The show still currently airs on 11Alive. 

The show, which reached more than millions of homes, would then lead to the growth of his ministry as a separate non-profit organization called In Touch Ministries in the early '80s.

He would become the driving force of one of the largest ministries in the world. 

The family asks that donations be made to the ongoing mission of In Touch Ministries instead of flowers.

Rest in power man of God

Rest in power king
