In this episode, Jay Dan sits down with Johnny Gleaton in Atmore, Alabama at the We Care Program.

Jay Dan recently visited the Florida and Alabama prisons and had the chance to catch up with Johnny in person, outside the prison, after seeing him inside for over two years. Johnny's life, upbringing, sexual abuse, betrayal, criminal life, and eventually his son saying these words to him, "Daddy, you ain't ever gonna do right", all played a part in who Johnny is today.

Johnny taught himself to play guitar in prison and became the worship leader at the Annex unit, which is where I met him and have become friends ever since.

His story has so many twists and turns, but eventually, it turned to Jesus and Johnny has become a great man of God.

SPECIAL EPISODE FOR THE MEN AND WOMEN ON THE INSIDE.

Waxahachie, TX Fireworks Show. Fireworks were synced to music from KBEC 99.1 radio. They own the rights to play. We don’t any of it or make money off any of the music we share here.

When men and women get out of prison, one of the most popular episodes, second only to the Christmas lights episodes, is the fireworks episodes.

So, this is an episode where Jessa and Jay Dan talk a little shop then show highlights of the Forgiven Felons Freedom Open House, including the water balloon fight, and the fireworks. This year, we brought the drone out for a little bit, but had technical difficulties.

Happy 4th of July people.

Special! From inside the Fountain Correctional Center in Atmore, AL

Christian Hip Hop Artist shares his incredible journey of coming from the street life, into the loving arms of Jesus. It didn't take hold the first couple of times, but God doesn't give up on us.

After a few judicial miracles, facing life in prison, to only having to do a short time, Landy finally settled into what God called him to do, minister to the youth. 

He now goes into juvenile centers and adult prison, sharing his story and his life-changing music. 

So many men came to know Jesus because of the testimony and music of Landy. Listen to him share his story, then enjoy the concert. 

You can find Landy on all social media platform, including YouTube. 

All songs and videos used with permission from Landy himself. 

Big thanks to the Warden, Chaplain, and staff at Fountain Correctional Center

Quick Background Check-In to give an update on Mama, and share some other things.

Our family is doing ok. Details on the memorial service to come soon.

In this episode we sit down with BOTH of the Earle brothers. And boy, having them both on doesn't disappoint.

We ask them questions like "Who's better......?" and have them pick. It's so funny.

John and Guy are former professional football players for the NFL and Canadian Football League. They have been doing prison ministry for a long time now and cover almost all of the Texas prisons.

They do pod ministry exclusively and it is so effective in reaching the ones who will never set foot in a chapel or gym.

We talk about being a dad, their dad, and being a spiritual dad.
