PASTOR PAUL STEVEN SMITH (UNCLE PAUL) Pastor Paul Steven Smith, affectionately known as Uncle Paul, is a bold voice of faith, truth, and everyday wisdom. He is a pastor, author, songwriter, and storyteller who speaks to real people living real life without pretense, fluff, or religious performance. His message lives at the intersection of faith, healing, humor, and honesty. Born and shaped by lived experience, Pastor Paul's ministry is rooted in transparency. He does not preach from a pedestal; he speaks from the porch, the pew, and the parking lot of life. His writing and teaching carry the rhythm of the Black church, the straight talk of the neighborhood uncle, and the compassion of a shepherd who understands struggle, recovery, loss, fear, and redemption. As an author, Pastor Paul has written numerous books focused on fear, healing, purpose, faith, and personal growth. His work is known for being simple, powerful, and deeply relatable-designed to meet people where they are and move them forward one honest step at a time.

His signature style blends humor, storytelling, scripture, and practical wisdom, making deep spiritual truths accessible to everyday readers. Pastor Paul is also the pastor of Victory Fellowship Church and the founder of multiple creative and media initiatives, including publishing and music projects that empower voices, tell authentic stories, and uplift the community. Whether preaching, writing, or creating music, his mission remains the same: to help people live free, think clearly, and walk boldly in the gifts God has already placed inside them. Known for his mantra that fear lies and faith moves, Pastor Paul continues to inspire people to stop surviving, start healing, and finally step into who they were created to be. - Pastor Paul Steven Smith (Uncle Paul).
