Ryan Evans’ early memories were not pleasant and he had a hard time finding any stability moving around the west side of the Salt Lake valley. Finally after finding a trailer park in West Valley, he settled into an 8 year reprieve with friends and football. Then in the ninth grade, tragedy struck as he tried meth for the first time and his life went into a tailspin; the chaos that ensued could hardly be described. In and out of juvenile detention, including a stint in a wilderness program, did little to deter the problems. His experience in federal prison started at 18 where he spent 2 and a half years, which did nothing but make him more angry and volatile. Listen as he describes his life between incarceration, when he did the unthinkable to a lifelong friend. Then everything changed after a pivotal conversation with his 10-year-old niece. Hear how his last prison stint and the intervention of several prison volunteers puts him on the path of redemption.
“She goes ‘Uncle Ry?’ and I said ‘Yeah?’ and she goes ‘God is not done with you yet.’ and I said ‘What did you say?’ and she said ‘God is not done with you yet.’ I thought somebody was speaking in her ear or she had an earpiece or something, and she says ‘He has some things he needs you to do before you come home.’ and it blew me away that she said that. It hit me and I started tearing up.” 54:50
