S15 | E7: Prison, Providence, and Pastoral Ministry

Everybody's got a story. And today's is one of the most compelling we've had. Pastor Jeff sits down with Dr. Jon Kelly — Lead Pastor of Chicago West Bible Church, husband to Danielle, and father of three sons. Jon was born in Chicago and raised in Philadelphia. He's a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, Wheaton College, and holds a doctorate in Global Missions from Southern Theological Seminary. But what makes Jon's story remarkable isn't just his credentials — it's the road he traveled to get here. As someone formerly incarcerated, Jon's journey is a testament to the redemptive power of God. God had other plans for Jon Kelly. And today, he tells us about them.
