ABOUT DAVID
David Stanley spent seventeen years living, growing, and working for his stepbrother, Elvis Presley. When he was just 16, David began working and touring with Elvis as a personal aide and bodyguard. He was among the first to discover his beloved brother dead from a prescription drug overdose in his Graceland Mansion in Memphis, TN. Deeply affected by this tragic loss, David set his own life on a new course. He overcame his addiction to drugs and developed new priorities centered on educating, motivating, inspiring, and helping others.
​
Today, David Stanley is a powerful speaker, best-selling author, and successful filmmaker who effectively uses his life story with Elvis and beyond to remind the world that prescription drug abuse has no boundaries. His personal story of triumph over adversity and stepping into his relationship with God has impacted millions worldwide.

A LIFT-CHANGING MESSAGE OF GODS LOVE
Broken Vessel is David Stanley’s personal story and a powerful testimony of God’s unshakable love, grace, and redemption. In this new message, David candidly shares the broken years of his life growing up on the road with his stepbrother, Elvis Presley, his calling to ministry at 12, and his surrender to that ministry in the destructive years that followed Elvis' death. It details how David suffered desperately from depression and unworthiness, abandoning the ministry and running from God - believing God couldn't possibly have use of such a damaged soul. But most of all, Broken Vessel is the story of God’s undying love for us and how, through His Son Jesus Christ, we can be forgiven, healed, and restored to fulfill His glorious purpose in our lives.
