  • Forgiving Her Father's Killer - Shelby Brown Story
    Oct 21 2024

    In an instant Shelby’s life was shattered, when her father was shot and killed on December 3, 2021. Her father was her rock; the person that lead her to Jesus, encouraged her, and was always there for her. Days leading up to her father’s funeral, she had a moment where she knew that she had to pick bitterness or forgiveness towards the man who killed her father. On the porch of her house, as tears streamed down her face, she had a moment with Jesus that changed her life. She had a vision where she saw Jesus on the cross, in pain, dying for her and for the man that shot her father. In that moment, she decided to forgive the man who killed her father and share Jesus with Him. She realized that, to say that Jesus can’t forgive someone, would mean that you are telling God that He is incapable of something, and that’s not true. Emotion-filled, she spoke at her fathers funeral, to share about her dad and the forgiveness of Jesus. Soon a video of her speech went viral across the world.

  • #11: I Begged The Officer To Shoot Me - ASAP Preach | God Behind Bars Podcast
    Aug 26 2024

    A Bible in a prison cell SAVED ASAP PREACH'S life! “Throughout my childhood I experienced my parents having a lot of parties. There was a lot of drugs and drinking around, and I was exposed to a lot of things that I shouldn’t have been exposed to. I had my first drink of alcohol at 5. At the age of 11 years old, I was se*ually ab*sed. Leaving me with a perverted view on life. All I could think about was lust and fulfilling fleshly desires. I felt like I couldn’t tell nobody what I was going through so I just bottled it in. Trying to numb the pain of feeling rejected, I fell into dr*gs and started hanging out with gangs. In 2007, I was Rockbottom sleeping on the floor of random peoples houses. I ended up getting arrested at one of the hardest times of my life! To the point, I told the officer to “shoot me in the head I didn’t wanna live anymore”. They arrested me and took me into my cell. There was a Bible in there and when I opened up this Bible, it started speaking to me as if there was somebody else in the room. I began to have this peace inside of this prison that I had never experienced before. I always believed that Jesus died on a cross for my sins, but I never knew you could have a true relationship with Him. But I felt the Holy Spirit in the cell and I called upon God and I said “Lord, if you’re real, get me out of this place and I’ll serve you for the rest of my life”. I really didn’t know what that looked like to follow God since all I knew was the streets. But overtime, the Holy Spirit would convict me and show me things about me that I never knew but also things that he didn’t want me doing anymore. So I started to let things go. Since then I have been travelling the world telling people about this hope that I have in Jesus! That he can Set them free from addiction, comfort them when they are broken and be a friend to them! Because that’s what he was for me! He also told me that if I would do things that glorify him that he would provide for my family forever! And since I’ve been doing full-time ministry doing Christian hip-hop music! I was Somebody that the world counted out, but God counted in and made me part of his kingdom.”
