Ever feel like your past is holding you back as a dad? You're not alone—and you're not disqualified. This week, we sit down with a very special guest and new friend of the show, Sammy Perez. He's a husband, father of four, and national voice for second chances through his work at Prison Fellowship. Sammy's story is raw and real. From time behind bars to meeting Jesus in a prison cell and even finding his own father figure, his testimony will move you, but what God has done in his life since then and the work that has been done in his family is where the real story begins. We talk about: What it means to father with grace instead of guilt Why humility is a dad's greatest strength Breaking generational cycles (even if you were never shown how) The kind of legacy Jesus can build from failure Whether you grew up with the wrong role models—or none at all—this episode is a hope-filled reminder that it's never too late to begin again. Whenever you feel like life is running you over and it seems impossible that God could use you any more, soak in this reminder from Sammy: "I was created for more than this." This one is for the dad who feels disqualified. God's not done with you, even if there are times you might feel like you're done with him.   Check out more of Sammy's story here Learn about Sammy's work with Prison Fellowship here   -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. Shop Range Leather and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans! https://rangecoffee.com/   Join the Fatherhood Guard as a monthly donor: https://manhoodjourney.org/donate/fatherhood-guard/     Buy Kent's latest book: Don't Bench Yourself on Amazon  Read the new State Of Biblical Fatherhood report here: http://manhoodjourney.org/sobf Find tools to share the report here: https://manhoodjourney.org/sobf-tools   Have a topic you want us to touch on?

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events. He's authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky. Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/Uovkiigw4gwWhat if the thing that nearly destroyed you… became the thing God used to heal others?In this raw and redemptive episode, Jerrad sits down with Sammy Perez, a man who grew up without a dad, entered the system at age 8, and spent much of his early life in prison. But that's not where the story ends. Through a prison cellmate, an unexpected visitation, and the unlikely love of a spiritual father, Sammy's life was completely turned around.Together, they talk about father wounds, the ache for belonging, how prison both broke and saved him, and the long road to healing as a man and dad. Sammy shares the tear-filled moment he gave his life to Jesus behind bars, the first time he saw his son through glass, and how God turned his pain into purpose.This is one of the most powerful stories we've ever told.What You'll Learn:Why boys without dads often become men without directionHow shame disconnects us from our story and how healing reconnects usThe surprising moment Sammy met his son for the first timeWhat it looks like to father when you were never fatheredHow a consistent man named Terry changed everythingWhy God's love can rewire even the hardest heartsThe full-circle moment that brought Sammy back into prisons… this time with purposeMentioned in This Episode:Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree ProgramSammy's work helping former prisoners reintegrate into societyThe story of Clarence; the cellmate who wouldn't stop asking Sammy if he wanted to know JesusJerrad's teaching on 2 Kings 6 and the power of new perspective

Send us a textOn today's podcast conversation I sat down with Jermaine Wilson of Prison Fellowship. Jermaine spent seven years behind bars—four of them as a juvenile. While incarcerated as an adult, he participated in biblically based programs through Prison Fellowship and experienced the life-transforming power of God's Word. With renewed purpose and vision, Jermaine no longer saw himself as a failure and a mistake.After his release from prison, Jermaine created a nonprofit organization, Unity in the Community, to establish trust between citizens and law enforcement. When his criminal record was expunged, he increased his political and civic involvement. In 2017, he was elected city commissioner for Leavenworth, Kansas. In 2020, he became the first formerly incarcerated person to serve on the Kansas Sentencing Committee.Jermaine is an ordained minister, husband, and father of five children.To learn more visit: https://www.prisonfellowship.org/Support The Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/110664/subscribe Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builderRegister for our 2025 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2025-mens-retreatRegister for Tribe XVI starting June 1st: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-xviThis podcast is sponsored by Dark Water Woodwork.

What up, Beasts. This conversation with Rob Lohman cracked me wide open in the best way. Rob's story is one of redemption, resilience, and raw honesty, and it hits deep. From battling addiction and suicidal ideation to rediscovering his faith and building a new life rooted in purpose, Rob doesn't just talk about recovery, he lives it. He shares the moment God told him, “You're done,” and the weight of that literal and metaphorical barbell he nearly let end it all. Instead, Rob chose to fight. To feel. To recover. And now he helps others do the same through his coaching, podcasting, and deeply personal work in the addiction recovery world.We also get into the messy middle of healing, how guilt, shame, and insecurity linger even after the substances are gone, and how movement, connection, and calling things like scars and spider veins by name (shoutout to Fred) can help us reclaim our power. Rob reminds us that recovery isn't a checkbox. It's a way of life. A decision we make every single day. This episode is packed with hard truths, grace-filled wisdom, and that signature blend of faith and grit that makes Rob who he is. If you're in the middle of the mess, this one's for you.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: From the depths of addiction and incarceration to thriving as a dynamic speaker and entrepreneur, Rob Lohman is a powerful example of redemption and resilience. Sober since 2001, Rob uses his story of addiction, suicide ideation, prison, and ultimate transformation to inspire others through keynote speaking, coaching, interventions, and advocacy. He's the founder of ChristianRehabServices.com, RecoveryBrick.com, and RobLohmanSpeaks.com, and the host of Beyond the Bars Radio and Addiction, Freedom & Faith podcasts. Rob has been featured in Podcast Magazine, Authority Magazine, and Prison Fellowship's Inside Journal, and he continues to empower individuals and organizations to break free from life's darkest challenges and live with purpose and faith.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Connect with Rob!Websites: www.ChristianRehabServices.comRobLohmanSpeaks.comRecoveryBrick.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/RobLohmanLiftedFromTheRut/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/roblohman_lifted/LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlohman/ Where can you find me?Linktree: https://linktr.ee/beautifulbeastwithinstudiosTired of battling your body?

Today, on Karl and Crew, we finished the week discussing identity in Christ. As followers of Christ, we cannot conform to the expectations and culture of the world; our identities are found in Him. We turned to John 14:6, which affirms that, as it says, Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one can come to the Father without going through Him. We also turned to 2 Corinthians 5:17, where Paul tells us that we are new creations in Christ. Therefore, our identities should align with Him. Jon Kelly also shared his testimony on finding his new identity in Christ. Pastor Kelly is a husband, father, and Lead Pastor of Chicago West Bible Church. He is also an alumnus of Moody Bible Institute. We also had Heather Rice Minus join us to discuss prison ministry. Heather is the President and CEO of Prison Fellowship, the nation’s largest Christian nonprofit serving prisoners, former prisoners, and families. She also works to deepen church partnerships with prison ministries.

Prison is a hard place. But the pain of prison extends beyond concrete walls and barbed wire fences.According to Prison Fellowship, over 1.5 million kids have an incarcerated parent. Around 92% of them are fathers.That's a sad statistic. It means that hundreds of thousands of boys are growing up without a dad. All boys need a proper role model to guide, encourage, and love them.Break the cycle. Be active in your son's life or be “dad-like” in an organization that serves boys who don't have the influence of a godly father. In this way, you demonstrate that God's Word contains truth and guidance on how to navigate the pathway of life.For tips and resources on parenting boys, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

"Don't allow circumstances you were born in to dictate the outcome of your life." From the time he was young, Mayor Jermaine Wilson had big ambitions.

However, through fatherhood, finding faith, and an uplifting prison fellowship program, Jermaine turned his life around.

After years of drug addiction, losing custody of her children, and cycling in and out of prison, Sheaveal hit rock bottom. One night, convinced she’d die from an overdose, she prayed to God. The next morning, she woke up knowing she had been saved. That same day, she was arrested and spent five and a half years in prison. There, through Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree program, Sheaveal reconnected with her children and began rebuilding her family. Today, she works with Angel Tree to help other families heal.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off a new theme, "Untangled," and we dove into Hebrews 12:1-2. How can we "throw off" the tangles that come from our families of origin? Karl took us to Alaska for a fishing story, and he revealed his own parents' untangling from their families of origin. He also answered some listener questions in our "Ask Pastor Karl" segment. Finally, we talked with Betsy Wright, the senior director of Prison Fellowship's Angel Tree Every Day. This ministry promotes year-round engagement and support for Angel Tree families by offering ideas, resources, and encouragement to local churches. Check out the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Podcast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you know that women are the fastest-growing population in prison? Ever wondered why? In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into this critical issue and more with Martha Ackerman and Stephanie Segel, the founders of Create: New Beginnings. This transformative program harnesses the power of artistic expression to help incarcerated women confront the challenges that led them behind bars. The impact of Create: New Beginnings is profound. Participants can even have their sentences reduced through their engagement in this life-changing initiative, affiliated with Prison Fellowship. As Martha and Stephanie share inspiring stories of adversity, vulnerability, and healing, we are reminded that everyone has the potential to create a new beginning. Through a series of restorative, art-based workshops, women explore themes of shame, self-doubt, empathy, and forgiveness in a supportive, faith-based environment. By engaging in painting and other creative arts, these women delve into core issues of identity and purpose, reimagining their futures with newfound hope. Since 2019, Create: New Beginnings has engaged over 140 volunteers and Prison Fellowship staff, serving more than 2,400 women across 20 states, from Alaska to Florida. With 50 active workshops reaching over 800 women each week, they are also partnering with the Salvation Army in 10 of their Adult Rehabilitation Centers. Don't miss this powerful conversation!

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 24th of July, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We start in the Gospel of Luke 19:8:"Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold." Then we go to the Gospel of Matthew 7:20, Jesus says: "Therefore by their fruits you will know them." Zacchaeus was a scoundrel. He was a thief. He was like the mafia; he and his friends were stealing money from their own people. You couldn't get anybody worse than that. But what happened? Salvation came to his house."Today salvation has come to this house,…" Luke 19:9We need to bear fruits worthy of repentance. What does that mean? Well mother, if your husband has had an affair with another woman and he comes back and asks forgiveness of you and says he made a terrible mistake, you must forgive him, but that man must bear fruit worthy of repentance. He must never be seen with any other woman, he must never ever be seen to text another woman, to phone - no! There must be fruits. He must repent completely. That man who has become a Christian but was a thief, yes, he stole from his partner, he stole from the company, but now he has given his life to the Lord, there must be restitution. Now, what does "restitution" mean? According to the Oxford Dictionary, it means "The restoration of something lost or stolen, back to its proper owner." That's what it means. When He had healed or forgiven somebody, Jesus often said, "Go and sin no more, your sins are forgiven." In other words, "Go and bear fruits worthy of repentance."Remember Charles Colson? He was called "the hatchet man." He was President Nixon's righthand man. He went to jail in the place of Richard Nixon. He was such an otherwise kind of a person, Colson. They said he would walk over his own mother's grave to get what he wanted. But what happened? - 180 degree turn around in prison. He became a born-again Christian. He started the Prison Fellowship. For the rest of his life, he was one of God's greatest ambassadors. There has got to be a change. Yes, we must forgive; of course, we must, but there also must be a complete turn-around. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Many assume prison is the last place to encounter God. But He is powerfully at work there through His people, both inside and out, fulfilling the promise to “proclaim liberty to the captives” and “set at liberty those who are oppressed” (Luke 4:18). Heather Rice-Minus, CEO of Prison Fellowship, has witnessed this firsthand in her work for prison reform and restorative justice. She joins Sarah to share the remarkable ways God is working today to redeem and restore people in the prison system.          Prison Fellowship https://www.prisonfellowship.org/  My Final Word: Holding Tight to the Issues that Matter Most by Charles Colson   Registration is now open for the Great Lakes Symposium on Christian Worldview, on Thursday, July 25 at 7pm Eastern.

Our topic is “Truth and Its Counterfeits: Discerning the Lies that Take People Captive.”  Have you ever felt pressure to affirm unbiblical ideas in the name of “love” or “social justice?” Truly loving our neighbors means refusing to compromise God's Word. To help us do that, Alisa Childers and Ryan Bomberger will join me for an important discussion on how Christians can pursue truth and love, even when it's challenging. This event is free, and you can attend in-person in Bay Harbor, Michigan, or online via livestream.
