He recounts receiving a life sentence in federal prison after turning his back on God following an initial deliverance, and the subsequent 27 years he spent incarcerated. It was in prison where he rededicated his life, found God's calling, and learned to withstand the enemy's wiles.

He closes by discussing his powerful book, How I Got Over, and his ministry, HIGO Ministries, Inc., which helps formerly incarcerated individuals and at-risk youth.

He discusses the devastating cost on his marriage, including performance issues on his wedding night.

The turning point came with his wife Katie's confrontation and their struggle with infertility, which fueled his commitment to break the stronghold.

Will Travis’s story is a raw and honest look at the battle that rages for our hearts. It is a powerful reminder that our deepest wounds and most profound failures do not disqualify us from a life of purpose. In fact, in the hands of a redeeming God, they become the very qualifications for a ministry of hope to others who are still lost in the same darkness. May his journey illuminate the path for your own and remind you that no one is ever too far gone for the reach of grace.
