Background Check Podcast

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.

In this episode we sit down with Bill and Stephanie Everts to hear one of the most fascinating God stories I've ever heard, and I ain't playing games.

But their lives cross in an online game called Empires and Puzzles. Their stories individually are incredible, but their together story is filled with redemption, love, sacrifice, and Jesus.

Bill is the Executive Director of Less Than The Least Ministries which is heavily involved in the prisons across Texas. They also host, together, The Edge Podcast and is one of the most watched prison podcast on Pando.

You've got to watch this episode and share it with someone you know who could use some encouragement.

Hey Background Check family, just wanted to give everyone on the inside a quick update with what's going on with my health. We got some great episodes coming with Jessa and Bill and Stephanie from The Edge Podcast, but just wanted to share with you what's been happening to me the last 9 days. 

Thank you for your prayers. 

Audrey works for a roofing company, that she found through a second chance staffing agency, which she found because she was connected to B.I.G. Love Ministries.

Audrey's motherhood journey is a rough one, but God is redeeming the time in her life and she is living a life that her family admits is very different. She's involved in church leadership, recovery groups, and prison ministry.

We cry and laugh through her story that involves, abandonment, drug using and dealing, jail, a raid with her own son, prison, and falling on her knees crying out to God.

Share this with a mom you know needs it.

In this episode we sit down with Cheyenne from the Cheyenne Pitts Band.

Cheyenne's story takes all the normal twists and turns of addiction and family dysfunction, but then adds some guitar, country music, and a "suicide by cop" element to it. Cheyenne admits that most of his trouble came as a result of his anger issues, which, with the help of God, and his time in prison, has been under control.

Cheyenne travels and plays on the weekends but holds down a job during the week in which he is a project manager.

After we chat for a little bit, Cheyenne breaks into a few songs for us in studio. Share this with everyone you know, and let your loved ones in prison know that it's probably available on their tablets.
