Restored in Community | Rev. Dustin Mailman

About this episode

Rev. Dustin Mailman discusses the importance of redemption and community support for those impacted by incarceration.

What does it look like when a church takes seriously its belief in redemption, dignity, and second chances — not just as words, but as a way of life? Rev. Dustin Mailman joins Brittany and Marianne to talk about Deep Time Coffee, a ministry walking alongside people impacted by incarceration through employment, community, and restored belonging. They explore what people actually need after reentry, how the church can interrupt stigma instead of reinforcing it, and why genuine welcome means more than an open door on Sunday morning.
