Former Prisoner Says It’s Never Too Late To Change
"Welcome to Thrive, a series produced by Prison Fellowship featuring formerly incarcerated men and women speaking candidly about how they were able to thrive both in and out of prison and how you can, too. This series was created specifically for those in prison who will watch this on tablets, closed circuit TV, and in common spaces. Watch in this episode as Mike Spilker shares how he nurtured a godly spirit of determination and perseverance behind bars and in his life since reentry. In this video, Mike discusses topics including: • Three practical steps to take wherever you are. • Why asking for help is so important. • Moving forward successfully. • The importance of finding a supportive network of people. • How Mike’s value system changed before and after prison. “It’s never too late. If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, then do something different,” Mike says. “Because if nothing changes, nothing changes. Go the extra mile, do whatever it takes.” Life following a prison sentence can be about more than just existing or surviving. It’s about thriving. This series is created specifically to encourage those living in correctional facilities with the good news that there is abundant life after prison." from video introduction
