Rev. Jason J. Day
Recovery Pastor / Founder at Saved Life 

Author of The Quest to Become Recovered

Rev. Jason J. Day, known by many as Pastor Jason or "Rev", is a walking testimony of God’s power to redeem, restore, and repurpose a life. Once shackled by alcohol addiction, multiple prison sentences, and homelessness, Pastor Jason knows what it’s like to live in the depths of despair. But he also knows the One who brings the dead back to life.

His journey radically changed when a pastor friend asked him a question that pierced straight to the heart: “When are you going to stop building your own Kingdom and start building His?” That moment of confrontation became a moment of consecration—where pride gave way to surrender, and self-will bowed before the will of God.

With the faithful support of his wife, Sam, Pastor Jason stepped into his true calling. He founded Saved Life, a ministry born from brokenness but rooted in redemption, and became the visionary behind The Quest to Become Recovered—a discipleship-driven recovery journey that blends biblical truth with practical transformation. This ministry exists for those battling addiction, identity crises, and spiritual disconnection, offering a clear path from the self life to the Saved Life.

Drawing from his own scars and Scripture, Pastor Jason also established The Quest House, a residential recovery initiative designed to create a safe, faith-centered environment where men and women can experience true change through community, accountability, and Christ.

One of the most beautiful chapters of his redemption story came quietly and personally. During the years lost in addiction, Pastor Jason grieved the father he failed to be. Yet he carried a silent desire deep in his heart—to one day be the kind of dad God had always called him to be. He never spoke it aloud, but God heard it. And in His perfect grace, that unspoken prayer was answered with the birth of his son, John David Alexander Day—affectionately known as Little Alex. In that moment, the Lord gave him the desire of his heart and restored what addiction had tried to steal.

Today, Pastor Jason continues to write, teach, and disciple others through Saved Life and The Quest to Become Recovered, empowering people to rise from the ashes of addiction, sin, and shame into lives filled with freedom, purpose, and Kingdom impact.

His message is simple yet profound: “Be who God intended you to be. Do what He intended you to do.” 

Whether through his words, his ministry, or his story, Pastor Jason invites everyone to embrace the truth—no one is too far gone, and nothing is too broken for Jesus to redeem.

As both a devoted wife and a spiritual backbone of their shared ministry, Sam has played a pivotal role in shaping the heart, message, and mission of Saved Life.

Her unwavering belief in God's call on Pastor Jason’s life was a turning point in his story. He often says, “Without her, I likely wouldn’t have gone through with it. She showed me the love of Christ in her actions. She helped to break down the walls of guilt and shame I still clung to.” Her discernment, intercession, and sacrificial love have helped forge the foundation of this ministry.

Sam’s contributions extend far beyond encouragement—she is a true partner in purpose and ministry. As co-author of The Quest series, she brings a vital perspective and voice that reflects grace, truth, and healing. She ensures the curriculum is not only doctrinally faithful but also emotionally resonant, making space for the brokenhearted to encounter Jesus in a personal and transformative way.

In addition to writing and teaching, Sam actively serves in outreach efforts like The Quest House and The Well Recovery Café.

Her life is a living testimony that strong women of faith not only stand beside their husbands—they also lead, build, teach, and shape the spiritual future of generations to come.
