What would you do if you were in prison, labeled a security threat, and locked in isolation?

For Bert Berrios, it was reading the Bible.

Bert was serving time for murder and was stuck in segregation, with little hope of connection.

Yet, God reached him in the most unlikely of places.

The twist? The man who put him behind bars was the one who guided Bert toward hope and new life.

Hear the story of how Marco David was called to help Bert find the truth of scripture and be set free. When the unlikely pair meets up, redemption begins in Bert’s life. This is a One80 you won’t want to miss!

You’ll learn a lot about what it’s like to grow up in a gang and what prison life was like for Bert and experience his first-hand account of true healing, the grace of God, and the power of forgiveness. Bert now leads his own prison ministry, given rare permission from Cook County to reenter Division Nine of Cook County Jail as a parolee to preach the Bible.
