Podcast Overview

After five DWI’s landed me prison, something had to change. One day I got into a fight and I spent eight days in solitaire confinement thinking about my life and the decisions I had made that led me to that dark place, literally. I came out of the hole a different man with a different heart, mind, soul, direction, and outlook on life. I got mentored by a couple of inmates who eventually made parole but within a year they were both back in. This confused me and ticked me off. I wondered how I was going to make it out there. Since my release in 2006 we’ve opened up a transitional house for men, with another ”ranch” coming, launched a documentary, been on the Mike Huckabee Show, launched this podcast, and it goes into prisons all over the nation.

EP 230 Father's Day Episode "Two Brothers, One Mission" John and Guy Early, Think Twice Ministries

In this episode we sit down with BOTH of the Earle brothers. And boy, having them both on doesn't disappoint. We ask them questions like "Who's better......?" and have them pick. It's so funny. John and Guy are former professional football players for the NFL and Canadian Football League. They have been doing prison ministry for a long time now and cover almost all of the Texas prisons. They do pod ministry exclusively and it is so effective in reaching the ones who will never set foot in a chapel or gym. We talk about being a dad, their dad, and being a spiritual dad.
