At The Table: Voices Of Restoration

For years, Anthony Mullinax felt trapped in addiction, hopelessness, and cycles he could not break on his own. Even when he wanted a different life, he did not know how to escape the path he was on. In this powerful episode of At the Table: Voices of Restoration, Anthony Mullinax shares the story of how what looked like an arrest became the very moment that saved his life. Anthony opens up about addiction, incarceration, surrendering to Christ, and the men who walked alongside him through accountability, faith, and restoration while incarcerated. He also shares what it was like coming home through the JUMPSTART program, rebuilding relationships, discovering purpose, and eventually joining the JUMPSTART staff to help guide men coming out of prison through the same struggles he once faced himself. Today, Anthony is a husband, father, homeowner, and living proof that restoration is possible when grace, obedience, and community come together. This episode is about surrender, identity, accountability, second chances, and what can happen when someone finally believes they are worth fighting for.

What if success is not the same thing as purpose? In this episode of At the Table: Voices of Restoration, Steve Ford joins Cary Sanders for a deeply reflective conversation about faith, legacy, calling, and the search for work that truly matters.

That search for purpose eventually led him into prison ministry, Restoration Village, and helping shape the vision behind one of the most transformative reentry efforts in South Carolina. Together, Cary and Steve explore purpose, faith, restoration, community impact, and the kind of obedience that keeps moving forward even when logic says not to.
