Steve Baumgartner was a meth cook, an enforcer, a satanist, and a man fully convinced he was beyond redemption. When he was arrested and told he could be facing 36 years in prison, he believed his life was over.
But God wasn’t done writing his story.
Today, Steve is the founder of Fire Forged Leader, a husband, father of eight, and a leader calling men to rise, repent, and reclaim the purpose they were made for. His story is raw, painful, and powerful — and it proves that no man is too far gone for God to rebuild.
From meth labs and violence to mercy and redemption
The arrest that became his turning point
How God forges men through fire and consequence
Calling men out of comfort and into responsibility
Living with conviction, purpose, and eternal perspective
This isn’t a motivational story — it’s a wake-up call.
