It was just a routine traffic stop . . . until it wasn't. In seconds, Patrolman Watt's life changed forever. But it wasn't the bullets or the loss of his career that nearly destroyed him. It was the prison of hatred he locked himself into—a prison from which only forgiveness could set him and his attacker free. God's love freed Steve from a self-imposed prison of fear and resentment and redeemed his life from the pit. Steve's story appears in Victorious Living Magazine, Issue 1, 2026.

Steve Watt lives in Colorado with his wife Joyce and his service dog Sam. He lives to tell others about Jesus.
