Defy The Odds

Trust God to Redeem Your Hurt for His Glory

No one would have known from his upbringing that Benny Tate would one day graduate college, support his community as a pastor, and serve his country in Washington, DC, as chaplain to both the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.

Born to a hard-working single mother, Benny never faced a season of life that wasn’t filled with obstacles, from a father figure who abused and traumatized him, to his lack of direction upon entering adulthood, to the struggles with illness, mental health, and fertility he faced early in his marriage. Yet in every crisis, Benny found that God was there, providing the strength, wisdom, and resources he needed to overcome the staggering challenges before him.

In parts memoir that will tug on your heartstrings, guide for getting through tough times, and reminder to never see yourself as a victim of your own life, Defy the Odds will inspire your soul as it proves that you follow a God who can–and will–get you through the impossible.
