10 sermons. Preached behind prison walls. Written by a man 21 years inside. “Through this work, my hope is to encourage those who feel forgotten, demonstrate the life-changing power of the gospel, and remind others that God can bring purpose and transformation even in the most difficult circumstances. My book, Penitentiary Preacher: Sermons from Behind the Wall, takes readers behind prison bars to witness the transformative power of the gospel firsthand. It includes ten moving sermons centered on hope, redemption, and faith, along with discipleship materials and a comprehensive resource directory designed to support incarcerated individuals. At 42, and having spent 21 years incarcerated, I have dedicated myself to pursuing Christ, serving others, discipleship, and mentoring within the prison community. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Pastoral Ministry. I currently serve as a North Carolina Field Minister, Penitentiary Preacher, disciple-maker, and mentor. My writing has been featured in The Nash News, NC Prison News Today, Prison Journalism Project, Evening Street Press, Minutes Before Six, Prisoner Express, The Loop, Encouraging Words, and Incarcerated Voices.”
