Romney Ruder | Revival Behind Bars: Discipleship, Dignity, and Breaking Generational Chains

What if the next revival didn’t start in a church... but in a prison?

In this episode of Thinking Christian, I sit down with Romney Ruder, President of Lifeline Global Ministries, to explore how God is transforming lives behind bars. From the darkest corners of Angola State Prison to vibrant spiritual communities formed behind cell walls, this conversation uncovers the raw power of the gospel among incarcerated men and women.

We talk about how Lifeline’s programs — Malachi Dads and Hannah’s Gift — are breaking the cycle of generational incarceration, what real discipleship looks like under extreme conditions, and how the local church can move beyond hesitation to become a bridge between prison and family restoration.

Romney also shares jaw-dropping stories of courage, healing, and faith — including an impromptu prison choir that might just be the spark of the next spiritual awakening in America.

👊 Prepare to be convicted, inspired, and maybe even undone.
