Our church had opportunity to do a book study on the Book Rethinking Incarceration. Last Episode we spoke with the author and this episode we get a chance to hear some of the things that were learned after reading the book. This was another fun and informative episode.

So Buckle Up for Blast Off.

Join us as we engage in a conversation with Dominique Gilliard the author of Rethinking Incarceration. This conversation is informative and thought provoking as we talk about the concept of Restorative Justice. You do not want to miss this!

Dwight and Tiana are joined by Pastor Mike Van Kampen to talk about his ministry that helps incarcerated men and their families. Pastor Mike pours the heart of Jesus into his ministry and he explains the journey of why this ministry is important, what it takes to make it possible, what it means to family members, and how we can all get involved.

Prison Ministry takes on 4 major categories (listed below) so if you find yourself feeling the tug to get involved, check out some other opportunities in your area!

The 4 major categories of prison ministry:

We are so glad that there are people like Jon Cooper in the world who have both the know how and the heart to bring reform to laws. Today we are going to chat with a former DC Lawyer who moved back to Michigan to help make a dent in some of the unjust policies that still exist. This was an eye opener as oftentimes we have a general understanding of how something works, but when talking with someone who knows the details...well that is a humbling experience.

There is always more than meets the eye when thinking about how people are prosecuted. Today we jump into conversations specifically about Justice Reform. We are joined by Lisa Peterson who works for the Western District of Michigan Federal Public Defenders Office. During this conversation we will touch on how family history plays a role in conviction, what resources are in place here in West Michigan to help people who are being prosecuted, and what is cross stitching.
