A Prisoner in America Finds Truth Behind Bars

April 07, 2025

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. – Psalm 19:7

In a country where Bibles are widely available and churches stand on nearly every corner, it can be easy to assume that biblical truth is thriving. But in the United States, spiritual confusion and false teachings still threaten to lead many astray. That’s why THRU the BIBLE programs—available on radio, online, and through the TTB app—are more important than ever. It’s a steady voice of truth in a culture that often trades sound doctrine for what feels good or convenient.

The good news? God’s Word is still changing lives. From the largest cities to small towns and even behind prison walls, God is calling His people back to Himself. We’re grateful for each listener in the U.S. who is anchored in their faith through the clear, consistent teaching.

Here’s one story from a prisoner in Indiana whose heart is being renewed by truth:

“My name is Colin and I am a prisoner in Indiana. I listen to your teachings on the radio. Dr. McGee is so biblically sound in his teachings. I was led astray by false teaching in the past. More recently, I have been anchored in my faith and I know what it means to be a biblical Christian now. I have really enjoyed Dr. McGee's teachings. I pray for this ministry's growth and success in changing people's lives by the Word of God!”

Praise God for Colin’s renewed faith and for the way God meets us—wherever we are, even in prison—with grace and truth. His story reminds us that biblical literacy matters. When people hear the truth clearly taught, the Holy Spirit works to illuminate, convict, and restore. This is happening all across the United States through THRU the BIBLE.

Let’s continue to pray for the hearts of people across the U.S. May more turn away from watered-down religion and false doctrine and discover the solid foundation of God’s Word. And may those like Colin be strengthened as they live out their faith in challenging places, boldly shining the light of Christ.

Prayer Points

  • Pray for clarity – That people in the U.S. will find clarity through the Bible and will embrace God’s truth.
  • Pray for transformation – That God's Word would anchor hearts in faith and renew lives across the nation.
  • Pray for outreach – That the gospel will reach those in prisons and in every corner of the U.S.
