Men of Valor is not just a prison ministry.
It is a place where men coming out of incarceration are being challenged, discipled, restored and rebuilt.
In this special mash-up episode of The Redemption Project, Brandon Burley highlights voices from Men of Valor — men coming out of jail and prison, men who found faith behind the wall, and leaders helping them return to their families and communities with purpose.
This is a story about addiction, incarceration, faith, accountability, reentry and restoration.
But more than anything, this is a redemption story.
