About this listen

Welcome to God Behind Bars, a podcast where we explore the intersection of faith and incarceration. Join our CEO and Founder, Jake Bodine, as we take you inside prisons across the U.S. and have candid conversations with current and former inmates, Department of Corrections officials, and other various other guests and discuss why we believe God belongs in prison. Tune in every other week and be encouraged by stories of faith, resilience, and the transformative power of God behind prison walls.

  • I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS OVER | Peter "Chappy" Meyerhoff
    Sep 30 2025

    Peter “Chappy” Meyerhoff’s life is the definition of redemption. At 15, he was addicted to meth. At 18, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Inside, he became a “shot caller,” running with power and pride—until it all came crashing down.

    After over a decade behind bars and nearly a year in solitary confinement, Peter walked out of prison with nothing but a decision: to never go back. With no high school diploma, no connections, and no plan, he rebuilt from the ground up—turning his pain into purpose.

    Today, Peter is a motivational speaker, author, and host of the Roll Call with Chappy podcast. He uses his platform to speak truth about addiction, incarceration, mindset, and faith—helping others find freedom long before the gates ever open.

    This is the story of a man who lost everything, found himself, and built a new life from the ashes.

  • I Was De*ling Dr*gs at 13 Years Old | EI THE King's Story
    Sep 2 2025

    From chasing the streets to finding salvation, this is the powerful story of E.I. the King.

    Growing up with big dreams but caught up in the wrong influences, E.I. found himself in and out of prison from the age of 18. For over a decade, the cycle of incarceration defined his life—until God stepped in. In the darkest places, behind bars, he encountered grace that would transform everything.

    Now free, E.I. the King is on a mission: using music, testimony, and street outreach to bring hope to the hopeless and light to the places he once lived in. His story is raw, unfiltered, and proof that no life is too far gone for redemption.

    In this solo testimony, he shares it all—from his broken beginnings to his encounter with God, his transformation, and his vision for the future.
