87: Mike Savage | From Prison to Praise

www.graceenoughpodcast.com

Mike Savage joins me to talk about how Jesus wrecked and saved His life while serving 15 + years in prison for international money laundering. 

Questions Mike and I Discussed:

1. (2:58) To set the stage for your story, tell us a little about your childhood working your way through getting married and your first few jobs.
2. (6:53) You end up being labeled as “a criminal mastermind” and often joke about how that can’t be true, because you got caught, describe your job to us and how the phrase “it’s a slow fade” is true of your plunge into money laundering.
3. (13:21) Your wife, Cynthia, stayed with you, despite having absolutely no idea about your criminal activity. So go back and tell me a little bit about what your family life was like, while you were living this criminal lifestyle and she was clueless. And then what was it like those two years where you weren’t in prison, but you were being investigated?
4. (30:02) So you end up in prison for 15 years, where you surrender your life to Jesus.  Walk us through how you came to know Him.
5. (35:52) The day arrives, when your time served is complete.  What was the first year out of prison like for you and your family?
6. What does your life look like today?  How do you and Cynthia use your experience to point others toward Jesus?

Quotes to Remember:

“I knew everything that was going on. She knew nothing.”

“I actually was praying, even though I hadn’t been saved, I’m still praying, ‘God, please get me out of this. Please get me out of this.’ And He did get me out of it. I went to prison. I was found guilty.”
