In this powerful episode recorded at the Billy Graham Training Center in North Carolina, Omar Calvillo sits down with “Charlie the Chaplain,” a man whose testimony reads like a chapter straight out of the book of Acts.

Charlie shares how his life was radically changed inside a prison cell in 1992 - not through force, violence, or fear, but through the unexpected peace on the face of a young man facing the death penalty. What started as an attempt to beat someone up became the moment God broke through decades of anger, racism, and pain… and saved him.

Their story comes full circle decades later when Charlie finds himself baptizing the very man who led him to Christ - after 33 years on death row.

You’ll also hear:

  • The life-changing impact of Kairos Prison Ministry
  • How love, cookies, and handwritten letters soften the hardest hearts
  • Miracles happening behind bars every single week
  • The global reach of Kairos and how you can get involved
  • A heartfelt prayer for those on death row and everyone listening

This is an episode about redemption, reconciliation, and the God who writes stories too perfect for fiction.
