Chaplain Bob

United States Dept of Justice

Federal Bureau of Prisons

What if the place you never expected became the place God would use you most?

Chaplain Bob didn’t grow up in church. He dropped out of high school, wasn’t looking for faith — and definitely wasn’t planning to end up in ministry. But when he walked into our church in 2009, it set off a chain of events that changed everything.

In this episode, Bob shares how he found Jesus, pursued a calling he never expected, and now serves as a full-time chaplain in a federal prison. His story is raw, redemptive, and a reminder that purpose often shows up in places we never planned.

If your life has taken some unexpected turns, this one will speak to you.
