About this episode

Rev. Bert Knapp discusses his ministry to ex-offenders and the importance of love and purpose in life.

Rev. Bert Knapp's ministry is "Thugging to Loving." He ministers to churches, but his ministry is to the ex-offenders and prisoners. He blessed the church helping us understand that so many upbringings are not filled with love and supportive parents. Rev 12:11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." A couple of his sayings were, "When there is air in your lungs, God has a plan, and you have a purpose." "Church is a place to be fed and blessed, then to go out and be."
