Terry Herrman: Breaking the Cycle of Recidivism at Matthew 25 House (+ more) | The Catholic Morning Show - 07/15/2026

Answering the Call of Matthew 25 Terry Herrman, president of the Board of Directors for Matthew 25 House, joins the show to talk about the Ames, Iowa ministry that helps formerly incarcerated men "imagine and embrace a new way of living through Christ-centered relationships that build a sense of belonging and self-worth." Terry shares how a chance conversation with a deacon at his church pulled him onto the board, what a typical week of volunteering looks like (6 a.m. devotions Monday–Friday, Saturday Bible study, and church integration for residents), and the moment that means the most to him: watching the men graduate the year-long program — and stay in the community long after.
