How a Prison Ministry Changed My Life with Dean Patterson
46m

What if the moment you built your life around—your career, your ambitions, your independence—was taken away in an instant? Dean faced that reality when he learned he was going blind. Mid-career, with a family relying on him, he spiraled into self-doubt and isolation. But instead of letting darkness consume him, he found new heroes, a deeper faith, and a mission to serve.

From learning how to navigate a world without sight to walking into a maximum-security prison to bring hope to the forgotten, his story is one of resilience, Brotherhood, and faith. If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or alone, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what true strength looks like—and where to find it.
