A voice in a jail laundry room. A Bible open to a sentence that felt like a summons. And a quiet whisper that rewrote a life: “I never left you.” Kathy sits down with Rev. Robert “Bobby” Rodello to trace a raw, unforgettable journey—from a childhood steeped in altar calls and miracles, to the fracture of a family, to gang nights and a case that stacked into centuries on paper. As the bars closed, a prophecy remembered, and a soul tested prayer by inches, grace did what grace does best: it found a way in.

Bobby shares the turning points with striking clarity—the heaviness that drove him to argue with God, the line “you cannot serve two masters” that proved God was listening, and the seven-and-a-half-year wrestle to be renewed in the Holy Ghost. In a cramped room behind bars, he surrendered everything and felt the flood of the Spirit. Then came the words that cut through years of lies about abandonment, ushering him into a love that turned defiance into devotion. What followed was a jailhouse revival with daily Bible studies, healings, and over a hundred baptisms in Jesus’ name, even as legal setbacks tested hope and refined purpose.
