EP 116 "Could God Still Love Me?" with Michael Etchison, from inside the Missouri DOC

November 18, 2022 Jay Gumm

Show Summary

Could God still love me?

In this episode I share the interview I had with Michael Etchison, an inmate serving time at the North East Correctional Center. He was the president of an inmate organization called RJO, Restorative Justice Organization. They raise funds from other inmates who want to be a part of the organization, make things for the community, and so many other things. It’s all about taking ownership of past wrongs and giving back.

They invited me to come speak at their annual banquet. It was an NFL theme and they made a killer placemat for me. The food was amazing and the company was even better.

Before the banquet I got to sit down and hear Michael’s story. His story will be a hard one for some to listen to but it’s a story that needs to be heard so people understand the saving grace and mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Michael didn’t hold back. Transparent and vulnerable. He owned his past, his wrongs, and wanted so bad to not do it anymore. He was so ready to not be who he was that he was willing to take his own life.

I love our God, who gives EVERYONE a chance to repent and turn from their ways. Michael did that and now is serving the Lord and giving back in so many ways.

The Asst Warden sat in on the interview and she cried. It was moving.
