173. Ministering to Prisoners - Special Taping with Charlie Owens I Like Birds

    • Christianity

My first-ever mission trip to prison was with a friend of the show Charlie Owens!



Who went Viral on TikTok for 3 reasons:
1. God has anointed his ministry
2. He's a walking Bible & drops nuggets you never heard
3. Because he's a storyteller who draws you in & brings you closer to Christ!

Come join us by the campfire and hear a deeper layer of Charlie's story. We dive into his heart for prison missions as he and I reflect on the first one we did TOGETHER in Bridgeport Texas. From there we unpack deeper truths about Jesus, Barnabas, and the thief on the cross who had a name! We also unpack the time Charlie tried to hang himself in a cell and the tough days he experienced in the psych-word after losing his mom, his wife, and his son in the same year while incarcerated.

Charlie also opened up about 9 churches kicking him out before he found a church that would accept him for who he was NOW in Christ and not who he was before Him. A powerful reminder and reflection of the POWER of JESUS in a man's life! Don't miss this one!
