Brett Knight has spent his life standing in courtrooms—but his true calling has always been standing in the gap for the broken. Born in Kansas, raised in Illinois, and settled in Tennessee as a young adult, Brett grew up in a loving but poor home. Hard work was not optional. He worked three part-time jobs to put himself through college and later built a successful career in information technology before answering a long-delayed call to attend law school. After graduating from Belmont University College of Law, Brett served as a criminal prosecutor for the State of Tennessee before transitioning into private practice, where he now serves as a criminal defense attorney and City Judge. But it was through the stories behind the cases—the addiction, the trauma, the generational pain—that Brett discovered the deeper work he was meant to do. For years, he has walked closely with individuals battling drug and alcohol addiction, many of whom entered the justice system at their lowest point. Instead of seeing only charges and convictions, Brett sees sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers as people created in the image of God, often carrying wounds long before they ever picked up a substance. As an ordained pastor in Tennessee, Brett invests heavily in recovery ministry. He works alongside faith-based programs, mentors men and women coming out of incarceration, and advocates for restoration over condemnation. He believes firmly that accountability and mercy are not opposites—and that real transformation happens when truth is paired with grace. Together with his wife Donna, Brett dedicates much of his time to helping individuals rebuild their lives after addiction and trauma. Their shared mission is simple: No one is beyond redemption.
