James Radford

Pastor James E. Radford is a pastor, author, speaker, and musician whose message challenges people to examine their lives honestly, grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and put God’s Word into practice.

A native of Hopkinsville, Kentucky, he has devoted more than 40 years to preaching, more than 20 years to pastoral ministry, and nearly 50 years to church music. He is the founder and pastor of Victory Community Church in Huron, Indiana, where the mission is “Helping the Hurt Heal through Relationship.”

His books, including UnMasked: Who Are You? and I’m Exposed, but I Can’t See Myself, explore identity, honest self examination, and spiritual restoration. With simple language and thought provoking questions, he encourages readers to move beyond appearances and allow biblical truth to shape everyday decisions.

Before many knew him behind the pulpit, audiences knew him in professional wrestling as Kamala Jr., Mandingo Warrior, and Alamak. His more than 30 years in wrestling bring a distinctive perspective to his writing and speaking about the difference between the image people see and the person beneath it.

James and his wife, Beth, have three children and five grandchildren. Through preaching, writing, and music, his purpose remains consistent: helping people face the truth, find hope in Christ, and live what they believe.
