102: From Duck Dynasty to Jail Cell, Bryan Rucker's Story of Becoming a Hope Dealer
From the beginning, Bryan found himself in the deep waters of life: from gangs, drugs and dead-end jobs, all stemming from tragedy in his youth. In this episode, Jason interviews former DUCK DYNASTY cast member Bryan Rucker, as he shares his journey from a drug runner and convicted murderer to a public speaker and follower of Jesus, where he now serves to see the lives of others transformed. One of Rucker’s earliest, life-shaping events, what he referred to as “trauma points,” was witnessing a man get shot outside his apartment at nine years old. Bryan got caught up in that culture, began dealing drugs and got involved in gangs, leading to his arrest for armed robbery. After serving two-and-a-half years in juvenile detention, he sold drugs again, making $60,000 a month.Rucker was eventually convicted of a gang-related shooting and faced a lifetime sentence for second-degree murder. “That was one of those moments in my life I didn’t realize was going to be a turning point.” Once he had his son, Bryan was prompted to end his association with gangs and drug dealing, but it wasn’t until he moved to West Monroe, Louisiana, to take care of his grandmother that the former atheist started to see God move in his life, as God opened a door for a position at the Duck Commander warehouse, known for DUCK DYNASTY fame.Watch Story Filmed by I Am Second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyBDzpxTzi8Follow Bryan:https://www.instagram.com/bryanrucker52/ Foundations of Masculinity Small Groups: https://www.smallgroups.braveco.org/Foundations of Masculinity For Your Church: https://www.church.braveco.org/Jason's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayvallotton/CONNECT WITH BRAVECOWebsite: https://www.braveco.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.menInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/Shop: https://shop.braveco.org/ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.
