What happens when the system writes you off—but Heaven writes you back in?
At sixteen, Cyntoia Brown was sentenced to life in prison for a crime committed in the chaos of trafficking, abuse, and manipulation. But God had other plans.
In this gripping episode of The Kingdom Effect, Kevin Beasley sits down with Cyntoia to trace her impossible journey—from solitary confinement to speaking on stages with governors, from bitter disbelief to bold faith. Alongside missionary Scott Hord and justice advocate Stacia Freeman, they explore how trauma, mercy, and redemption intersect when Jesus enters the darkest corners of our justice system.
This one will wreck you—in the best possible way.
