What do you have to offer as a program for inmates or for staff or to make the warden think: okay, this is something I want to have at my institution. And so we start inserting truth and using the bible as that spear or as that sword to start hacking down all those antisocial qualities, to start turning them to pro-social qualities.
Ever wondered how faith-based programs can transform lives behind bars? In this episode of the 'Mess It Up Podcast', Bill Maxwell from Prison Fellowship Ministries shares his journey of bringing hope and change to the prison system. Bill discusses the profound impact of faith on inmates and staff, highlighting how education and support can significantly reduce recidivism. He dives into the power of Celebrate Recovery, a program that helps inmates turn antisocial behaviors into positive qualities through spiritual guidance.
Bill also sheds light on the Hope Events and Angel Tree programs, which aim to uplift inmates and their families by fostering connections and providing support. His stories are a testament to the belief that even in the darkest corners, light can shine through. As Bill puts it, 'we start inserting truth and using the bible as that spear or as that sword to start hacking down all those antisocial qualities'.
This episode isn't just for those interested in prison reform; it's for anyone who believes in the power of faith and community to drive real change. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the importance of compassion, support, and unwavering belief in human potential.
