"Hit It!": From Water Ski Champion to Prison Ministry Calling ft. Kristi Overton Johnson

From Water Ski Champion to Prison Ministry Trailblazer (w/ Kristi Overton Johnson)

What happens when God takes someone from a world stage… and calls them behind prison walls?

In this powerful episode, Omar sits down with Kristi Overton Johnson—former world-class water ski champion (80+ pro titles) and founder of Victorious Living Magazine / Victorious Living Ministries, to hear the God-story that changed everything.

Kristi shares about a supernatural moment of calling, the “HIT IT” message God gave her for men and women behind bars, and how simple obedience opened doors she could’ve never planned: from a magazine landing in the hands of the Florida Department of Corrections to being invited into prisons across the country.

Together, we talk about:

• Why prison ministry transforms both the inside and outside
• How trauma shapes lives - and how Jesus redeems what pain tried to ruin
• The importance of showing up consistently, listening, and loving people well
• Balancing passion for ministry with being present with Jesus
• How Kristi connected with JC Almanza and why unity in ministry matters

We close with a strong word of hope and a prayer for anyone who feels like they’ve “missed it” - because in Christ, it’s not over.
