  • From Darkness to Deliverance | Savannah's Triumph Over Addiction

    From Darkness to Deliverance | Savannah's Triumph Over Addiction
    Apr 22 2025
    Born to an addict mom, Savannah Bushman spent her early life living with her aunt and uncle and in spite of their care, she was molested by her cousin over several years. Returning to live with her mother for a short time, she couldn’t fathom how her mom could choose drugs over her own daughter, but even so, her mom had her try meth at age 14. Savannah was immediately addicted. In and out of juvenile detention and several foster homes, she found herself in kiddie prison first, and then at age 18 in the state prison and pregnant. Listen in as she tells her story of giving birth as an inmate and being separated from her newborn son. When released from prison, she did all she could to make ends meet and to stay sober for her child. Working several jobs and unable to pay the bills, she decided to start selling drugs again without using; a stint that didn't last long. Finding herself back in jail and pregnant once again, she tells how she turned to God, something she had never been taught nor had she ever done before, and how those feelings propelled her to get out, stay clean, and do incredibly hard things to make her life work for herself and for her kids. Now 12 years clean, listen to how she is living the American dream. Hers is a powerful story of coming from nothing and with God’s help, making a great life.

    “On my 13th birthday…she was off the hook and had people there, and I was like ‘Ya know mom, I never understood why you chose drugs over your kids.’ and she’s like ‘Well soon you’ll learn. Here–’ And I smoked meth for the first time with my mother.” 7:00

  • How an Questionable Prison Sentence Led to a Life of Advocacy | Travis Richey

    How an Questionable Prison Sentence Led to a Life of Advocacy | Travis Richey
    Apr 15 2025
    Travis Richie has a very unique story. In spite of growing up in a single parent home, his young life was good. Showing a propensity for numbers and finance, he found himself deep and successful in that field. An oversight in his venture capital world found him in prison in Arizona, where his perceptions of the incarcerated community took an immediate turn. During his 15 months down, he became a bit of an instructor, helping his fellow inmates learn successful financial skills. His booklet, Don't Buy a Cheeseburger with a Credit Card, has developed into the largest non-governmental, non-profit organization serving the incarcerated population. Currently, his program is in over 1,300 prisons across the United States. Like me, only on a grander scale, he has drank the Kool-Aid of the necessity of prison reform.
    If you're interested in creating change and growth, you will love his story.
