“I told her I wanted to take responsibility for my actions, and I asked her if there was any way I could stay in the program because it's doing me so much good” —Zane
"Hey, Zane," one of the prisoners said, addressing a fellow participant. "You've been dealing with some things. This is a great place to share."
Zane shut him down pretty quickly with a simple, "No, thanks."
"Are you sure?" a volunteer asked over Zoom. "This is a safe place. You can share here."
But again, Zane refused. Through his screen, Alan could see Zane further distancing himself from the group with his body language. He pulled away from the table, his head down and his hands on his knees.
For another 15 minutes, the conversation flowed around him, but Zane wouldn't join in.
Then someone said something about being responsible and taking ownership of your actions.
At that, Zane lifted his head and asked the group, "Can I tell you something?"
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
