RJ Johnson was at life’s lowest point. In the first year of a 20-year sentence for sexual assault, there were two attempts on his life. On suicide watch, he wasn’t allowed a razor. His beard grew out and he was begging to be put into solitary confinement. Then he met the prison chaplain whose comfort, advice, and select readings from the Bible turned his perspective around. Now out, he has started a prison ministry, Not My Will Ministries, and written a book called God Doesn’t Waste a Thing. He and host Casey Krizman talk about what it’s like to go to prison, and what a healing journey looks like.
