EP 138 ”I Don’t Look Like What I’ve Been Through” with Brother Steve Reece

In this episode Jay Dan sits down with the Forgiven Felons admin intern, Brother Steve Reece.  Steve's story is heartbreaking, gut wrenching, redemptive, victorious, and joyful, all at the same time. His health issues became so severe in prison that he was on hospice at one time.  While serving 10 1/2 years on a 17 year, non-agg sentence, Steve couldn't comprehend why God would leave him in prison to serve Him there while murderers, and other violent criminals were being released. But Steve kept trusting in God.  Steve worked for the chaplain on all the units he was on. He now serves Forgiven Felons and Austin Street Shelter in Dallas, a homeless shelter that helps get people off drugs, alcohol, and the streets.  Steve received his certification as a chaplain through Chaplaincy Ministries, an organization that trains people to become marketplace chaplains everywhere.  Steve is a perfect example of not letting your background hold you back, but pay you back.  Write Background Check Podcast and Forgiven Felons: PO Box 4283Cedar Hill, TX 75106 Forgiven Felons website: https://www.forgivenfelons.org/ Watch the Forgiven Felons Documentary:https://therokuchannel.roku.com/details/7abf5e84134e54a394b5b42544c08caa/forgiven-felons/season-1 How to get more involved with Forgiven Felons: Leave a review and subscribe on iTunes:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/background-check-podcast/id1515831127 BUY MERCHANDISE FOR A CAUSE: https://www.forgivenfelons.org/shop Learn about our Future Plans or to DONATE A BUILDING:https://www.forgivenfelons.org/future-plans Give to our organization:https://www.forgivenfelons.org/support Follow Forgiven Felons on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
