Next Step Now is recorded with one audience in mind: men and women currently living inside prison fences.

Through stories and interviews with authors, artists, members of the faith community, returned citizens and more, our goal is to inspire and challenge you to take one step forward right now...no matter where you are.

We believe in the power of redemption and living a resilient life as a renewed individual on purpose.

This podcast is a product of Timothy's Gift, a prison outreach started in 2009 to take a message of love, hope and worth inside prison fences.
