Calloused Hands, Tender Hearts: John David Graham on Second Chances and Speaking Truth
Manage episode 480658835 series 3650467
This week on 2 POGs Save the World, KJ and Lance welcome the incomparable John David Graham-a former truck-dwelling preacher turned award-winning author, nonprofit leader, and unapologetic truth-teller. From surviving homelessness to building a $2 million reentry program helping thousands reclaim their lives after prison, Graham brings a unique blend of street-tested faith, social grit, and raw wisdom.
We'll dive deep into the dangerous crossroads of faith and politics, the rise of Christian nationalism, and why the church must reclaim its purpose outside the halls of power. Oh, and don't worry-we've still got plenty of the usual political chaos and POG-level shenanigans.
Whether you believe in second chances or just want to hear from someone who lives them, this episode will challenge what you thought you knew about justice, faith, and the fight for something better.
