EP 219 "Seminary, Songs, and Stories" with John Montana

In this episode we sit down with John Montana. John is an author, speaker, father, husband, and prison minister. He comes from a family of partiers but now, they’re all prison ministers and serving the Lord. After having surgery at a young age, he became addicted to Vicodin and then eventually found Zannax. While giving his child a bath, an accident happened and his child was burned. He felt so guilty and ashamed, that he prayed and told God that if He gave him 30 years he would sign it. He was offered 30 years so he took it. What seemed like the end, was only the beginning. After a conversation with an atheist, and a visit with his grandma, He gave his heart to the Lord and began growing every day. While in prison, he got his B.S. in Biblical Studies from Southwestern Baptist Seminary. He was also part of the Field Minister team and the worship team. When he entered prison he had a 3rd grade reading level. You will want to hear him tell his story, part of his dad’s and sister’s story and how they’ve all broken al the generational curses in their family. He also sings a couple Christmas songs and original songs for the men and women behind bars.
