Over the past days I've been walking closely with a newly released inmate. His journey of the first hours and days have been fascinating and full of adventure.
What stands out is that there is not standard template for an inmate's transition back to family and community. For this man the joy, fears, anxiety and emotions have been magnified to the extent that some small tasks have been like mountains.
Today's mountain of fear to climb is the trip into town to do some basic shopping. He attempted it yesterday so today we pray for victory.
Jesus Christ came to free prisoners from their chains of captivity - in this case the chains are named shame.
