What Happens When the Church Goes to Jail

Ashley Collins never imagined she'd spend 14 years doing jail ministry; she grew up sheltered, surrounded by people just like her. But a chance visit to a nonprofit and a Holy Spirit nudge changed everything. In this episode, Ashley shares how her perspective on incarcerated women was completely transformed, why women behind bars are often more spiritually open than those sitting in church pews, and how prayer circles sparked revival inside a county jail.
