Have you ever wondered how a single decision can change the course of your entire life?
In this episode, we sit down with RJ, a former teacher and coach who takes us through his harrowing yet inspiring journey from a life marred by poor choices to one filled with purpose and redemption. Raised in a supportive family in small-town Nebraska, RJ faced weight-related insecurities that shadowed him into adulthood. As a teacher in Colorado, his life took a catastrophic turn when he was imprisoned. RJ candidly shares the stark realities he faced in prison, particularly the harsh treatment of sex offenders, and how he managed to find joy and meaning amidst the adversity.

RJ’s transformative experience in the Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility is nothing short of profound. He recounts how seemingly insignificant aspects of his life—like his long-unused master’s degree and a beard—led him to meet influential mentors who helped him rediscover his faith and purpose. By 2017, still behind bars, RJ envisioned a nonprofit organization aimed at helping others make better choices. From self-serving decisions to a faith-driven life, RJ's story reveals the complexities of criminal behavior and the pivotal moments where different paths could have been taken.
