Our date to record this podcast with Alexander was set up informally. I met him outside the grocery store, where we met for the first time. He asked me if I had any other plans for the day. I told him I had no agenda other than hearing his story. He suggested going to a Japanese restaurant and added that he would like to eat something before recording the podcast.
While dining at Tokyo Garden Sweet and Sour Pork, the Japanese restaurant, he asked me if I would like to join a men’s prayer group. I agreed. The location was not too far away from the restaurant. I asked him, “What do they pray for?” He told me the story of his friend who had lost contact with his daughter. He told me how God again brought him closer to his daughter as I attended the men’s prayer group. They gave me open arms and asked me to sit in the center. There I heard the story again of his friend who had been battling with addiction. He shared how much pain it had caused him to hurt his beloved daughter and how much he wanted her to forgive him. I could hear the pain in his voice and his repentance over his past life. Then as I turn back to look at Alexander, I can see him looking down and reading the bible. The group of men had asked him to read the bible for everybody, and I heard his voice there for the first time.
In this episode, Alexander will share the story of his transfer to a new prison where he finds his dream.
Hey, podcast fans! I've been away for a while, but I'm working hard to bring you some amazing conversations. I've been thinking about the direction of the podcast and want to ensure that each episode is meaningful and engaging. To bridge the gap, I'm excited to introduce a summer series called "My Summer of 2024." Stay tuned for the first episode coming soon! Thanks for listening!
