PASTOR JOE ADEVAI’s story spans two very different worlds. He spent 25 years on Wall Street, operating in high-pressure environments defined by performance and results. In 2009, he retired as a Senior Vice President of a $70 billion company. But after experiencing success, burnout, and personal breakdown, he discovered a deeper truth: achievement without purpose will never satisfy the soul.

Today, Joseph Carlucci Adevai is the Senior Pastor and Founder of Grace Church in North Brunswick, New Jersey. He also served as CEO of Serenity Springs Recovery, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Edgewater, Florida. Drawing from both corporate leadership and personal transformation, Pastor Joe speaks with rare credibility at the intersection of faith, resilience, and leadership.

Through candid storytelling, humor, and practical insight, he helps individuals and organizations move beyond survival mode into lives marked by clarity, courage, and calling. He continues to invest to support his family while serving in full-time ministry. Pastor Joe has been married to his wife, Alicia, for 34 years, and together they have six children. He is the author of A Reason to Live..
