26 years ago, Jesse Boyett was sentenced to a 50-year consecutive prison term. Today, he serves as an associate pastor behind bars, sharing a powerful message of how Christ breaks the cycle of addiction and transforms broken lives.
In today’s episode of Hope, we sit down at the Marshall County Correctional Facility in Holly Springs, Mississippi, to talk about the reality of an addictive personality, the hard truths of rehabilitation, and the overabounding nature of God’s grace. Jesse shares his raw testimony of losing everything—his marriage, his family, and his freedom—and how finding true discipleship in Christ completely shifted his heart.
📖 Scripture Referenced: Romans 13 (Civil Authority) & 1 Timothy 1:15 (Chief of Sinners).
