Compassion, responsibility, and rest. Are these words that come to mind when you think of prison? For ex-convict Portia Louder, a life-shattering prison sentence for real estate fraud felt like the end of the world. As an LDS woman, a wife, and mother of young children, being separated from her family was unimaginable. But her time in prison ended up being a practice in love, forgiveness, and accountability.

In this episode, Portia shares some of the beautiful experiences she shared in prison, and how she came to take responsibility for her actions, rather than pass the buck or play the victim of a corrupt industry.  It turns out, prison isn't just what TV paints it to be. Bonding with and supporting other women in prison gave her a perspective on how God loves all of his children, and how everyone deserves ministry, kindness, and love.

Portia now advocates for and serves others impacted by the prison system.
