In this compelling podcast, host Omar Calvillo interviews Pastor Daniel Rivera, who narrates his profound journey from gang involvement in Chicago and Gary, Indiana, to redemption and ministry. After a tragic incident leading to incarceration, Rivera encountered faith in Christ through a fellow inmate, which became the turning point in his life. At this point he had been incarcerated nine years already and had established himself at the top of his gangs leadership. He was torn as to what to do as he knew that God wanted him to walk away from this lifestyle. One scripture in particular would prove to be what gave him the faith, confidence and courage to step away from his gang life and it was Proverbs 16:7 which says, "When a man’s ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him". His faith guided him through prison, work release, and reconnecting with his family, eventually leading him to establish his own business and delve into ministry. Pastor Rivera now dedicates his life to helping former inmates and those battling addiction, underscoring themes of struggle, transformation, and the empowering pursuit of purpose through faith.
