17. Agustus Stewart Speaks with Saffron: Redemption and the Transformative Impact of Faith

38m · Ponder On That with Saffron King · 11 Aug 18:00

Welcome back to Ponder on That with Saffron King! Today, we have the pleasure of pondering with author Agustus Stewart, a man whose life story is a testament to the power of redemption and transformation. 

Raised in a Christian home but burdened by the absence of his father, Agustus sought belonging after being expelled from school. Finding solace in a gang, he paid a high price for acceptance, leading to prison time. Enduring 12 years in a harsh penal system marked by racism, violence, and addiction, Agustus found a turning point when he embraced Christianity within those prison walls.

His newfound faith brought a glimmer of hope that had been absent for years. After he was released from prison, Agustus embarked on a mission to rebuild his life and extend a helping hand to others. Through "Setting the Captive Free Ministries," founded in 2014, he reached out to prisoners, ex-offenders, the homeless, and those on the brink of a gang lifestyle. His debut book, "Incarceration Addictions and the Cross," lays bare his gripping journey through trials that shaped his life. Agustus' transparency guides those on similar paths toward freedom, showcasing the power of faith in transformation. 

Join us in this episode as we explore Agustus Stewart's inspiring narrative, highlighting the potential for redemption and the transformative impact of faith. Tune in to witness the resilience of hope and the strength of the human spirit as Agustus shares his unwavering commitment to guiding others toward healing and liberation. #podcast #ponderonthat
