Show Notes

What if your most meaningful Christmas gift came from a convicted felon?
In this deeply personal episode of The Grandpa Channel, Steve "Rivers" Harris recounts the unraveling of his life during the 2009 holiday season: financial collapse, family stress, deep spiritual discouragement—and the surprising moment of peace that arrived through a tattooed, soulful, gospel-loving inmate named Moses.

This story is a powerful reminder that God sees us, loves us, and often sends help through the most unexpected people.

You’ll hear about:

  • The triplet car crash that triggered a shame spiral

  • What volunteering in maximum security jail taught Steve about grace

  • The most profound prayer he’s ever heard (and why he cried through the whole thing)

  • The mysterious power of peace, even when it seems God is silent

  • A special message of hope for this Christmas season
