When I was a child I loved to pretend. I would imagine myself as a teacher, a pediatrician, a flight attendant. All careers where I was helping people. I didn’t know it then, but those were leadership roles as well. Twenty plus years ago, I was injured in a work-related accident, that has left me with a severe permanent disability. It forced me to search inside myself and find what other passions, purpose and possibilities I could pursue. It was when I started my direct sales business, and later became one of the company’s gratitude ambassadors, I realized that I am a giver, a humanitarian, a cheer-leader, and have a deep desire to inspire others. I had no idea it was possible to make a bigger impact, until, well- I started this podcast! I figured out how to focus my business not only on helping others earn an income, but to foster a community of gratitude, giving back and to inspire others as well. Join me and my expert guests here, where you will learn to live with passion, reclaim your purpose and explore the wonder of possibilities. I am your host, Candice Snyder and this is Passion, Purpose and Possibilities podcast.

After making a life-altering decision that led to a twenty-year prison sentence, RJ experienced a profound spiritual transformation behind bars. Through faith, mentorship, and personal reflection, he went from living in despair to discovering a renewed sense of identity and purpose.

After serving seven years of a twenty-year prison sentence, RJ encountered the relentless grace of Jesus—and everything changed. Through his journey of transformation, RJ founded Not My Will Ministries, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to helping men—both in prison and in society—break free from destructive cycles and rediscover their identity, value, and purpose in Christ. His ministry leads powerful, scripture-based Cycle Workshops that equip men to confront lies, build resilience, and walk in lasting freedom. RJ is also the author of God Doesn’t Waste a Thing (written under the pen name Luke Chance), an awe-inspiring memoir of the miracles he witnessed behind bars. His story challenges churches and communities to step outside their comfort zones and into God’s mission field—even when that mission field has razor wire and locked gates. With transparency, intentionality, and a spirit of joy, RJ brings a message of hope, redemption, and real-life faith. Whether he’s speaking to a church, podcast audience, or leadership circle, RJ’s life proclaims one core truth: Your worst chapter does not have to be your last one—and God can use every broken piece to build something beautiful.
