What Happens In This Episode?

Can a man change? He may not be able to; but Jesus can change him. Today’s Jesus Stories episode features a man known for successful dirty political tricks; tricks which will elect a politician to office. But, when the tricks are found and the pressure is on, an encounter with Jesus changes this man’s attitude, behavior, and life. Now his entire life is centered on Jesus – even while in jail. He creates a ministry that still operates today after his death. Come meet this extraordinary man.
