533: Jermaine Wilson | Encountering Jesus With Those In Prison May 13, 2025

Show notes

On today's podcast conversation I sat down with Jermaine Wilson of Prison Fellowship. Jermaine spent seven years behind bars—four of them as a juvenile. While incarcerated as an adult, he participated in biblically based programs through Prison Fellowship and experienced the life-transforming power of God’s Word. With renewed purpose and vision, Jermaine no longer saw himself as a failure and a mistake.

After his release from prison, Jermaine created a nonprofit organization, Unity in the Community, to establish trust between citizens and law enforcement. When his criminal record was expunged, he increased his political and civic involvement. In 2017, he was elected city commissioner for Leavenworth, Kansas. In 2020, he became the first formerly incarcerated person to serve on the Kansas Sentencing Committee.
Jermaine is an ordained minister, husband, and father of five children.
