Our Story
How Anden Ministries Was Born
In the journey of life, some paths are unexpected, and for our founder, Paul McKee, the twists and turns led him to a profound calling. From the early days of high school, Paul felt a compelling calling to ministry, a calling that would shape his life in ways he could never have anticipated.
Paul became an Ordained Elder in the Church of the Nazarene, dedicating many years to serving his community through both the spiritual and the secular. As a Police Officer, he found himself at the intersection of duty and faith, navigating the challenges of two demanding vocations.
However, life took an unexpected turn when Paul faced a near-death experience during his service as a Police Officer. The weight of this encounter led him down a difficult path, and began an affair. Wrestling with the consequences of his actions, Paul spent several years trying to grapple with the sin on his own.
In a pivotal moment of realization and clarity, Paul decided to confront the turmoil within and reached out to the District Superintendent, making the difficult decision to surrender his credentials. The road to restoration proved to be challenging, marked by struggles and a lack of clear direction from the Church. Yet, amidst the darkness, Paul felt a different calling from God—a calling to a new direction. He spent several years studying several modalities, diving deeper into the Word of God, and allowed himself to be coached and mentored by a few men of God.
This redirection urged Paul to extend his hand to fellow pastors who have fallen in ministry or are struggling with burnout, depression, and similar challenges. He felt compelled to help them experience a mental and emotional resurgence, providing support and guidance on their journey to healing.
Our story is one of redemption, resilience, and a commitment to helping those who face the storms of ministry. Paul McKee’s personal journey has become the foundation of our mission—to reach out to pastors in need, offering a path to renewal and restoration. Through God’s grace, we have found purpose in extending compassion and understanding to those navigating the complexities of faith, service, and personal struggles.

Our mission goes beyond mere evangelism; we are committed to staying with individuals on their journey. We bring practical tools and techniques that enable pastors to elevate their emotional, mental, and spiritual intelligence.
We are about fostering genuine transformation through the power of Christ’s forgiveness and providing tangible support for you and other pastors to thrive in your calling.
