Don't worry about the vicissitudes in life, just worry about god planting more roses.
What happens when you mix compassion, faith, and a desire to make a difference? In this episode of the 'Mess It Up Podcast', Bev and the Bow Tie Guy return to their local prison for the first time since pre-lockdown to restart the Prison Fellowship Academy. This heartwarming episode is all about their experiences, emotions, and the powerful lessons they picked up along the way.
The duo dives into their goals for the prison ministry, focusing on bringing love and support to incarcerated individuals. They share how their faith and obedience to God's calling drive them to make these visits, hoping to be a beacon of hope and a strong example of a Christian marriage for the inmates.
One standout moment in the episode is when an inmate confides in Bev about his determination to change everything about himself, showing the raw courage it takes to face one's fears and embrace transformation. This conversation underscores the importance of being honest with oneself and the power of overcoming fear. Music also plays a significant role in their ministry.
The episode's Song of the Week, 'Roses' by Andrew Ripp, serves as a reminder of the impact that music can have in uplifting spirits and fostering a sense of hope.
