Former CO here - Congrats, but let me tell you the hardest part is coming. I hope and pray you are still doing well, seeing that you've posted this 6 months ago. Praise God and Pray to God daily...change whom you hang out with or you will revert. I've seen it happen too many times, it is called a revolving door for a reason and keeping the same circle of friends is one of the main reasons. Remember, bad company corrupts good behavior. Stay away until you're strong enough to talk to them and stay where you are, but unless they cannot make the changes you have, they can no longer be close friends. You can always be friendly, but not friends. Satan is often referred to as a lion seeking to devour someone. If you think of predators, who do they select? They chase after the young and infirmed. So while your walk in faith is young, he is coming after you...likewise if you become "sick", if you start to doubt, he'll see that you're not keeping up with the pack and then he'll pick you off. So stay strong in faith and prayer and company. As a former CO, I love to hear stories like yours, so here's to praying you're still doing well!
So nice to hear that .go and share what God do to u there is a lot of youth lost in the hands of the Devil.He knows thats he can hurt God we are his sons .so glad for you.👍👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😍😍😍😍😍
I surrendered my life to God in prison back in 2009. I owe my transition to pastor Mark Parsons of Lakeview Church for his inspiring praise and worship team. Pastor Parsons also baptised me in the presence of more than 200 of my fellow brothers in Christ. Thank you Pastor Mark Parsons for offering me a way and clearing a path to God for me. May God's face always shine upon you and continue to bless you and your ministry.
3:22 anybody see and laugh at the shock and surprise on Zach's guitar man, lol, ''Like what note is this?!!'' he was freaking out a minute. God bless, awsome old revival spirit song. Praise the lord in every season, pain, lost, failures. Keep on praising till your last breath. Amen Psalm 148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
I tied a noose last night. Was ready to say goodbye to this cruel world. And then I turned on youtube. I repent for my sins. Save me Jesus and I'll live for you always.
This is beautiful❤ My husband has been in prison for the past 2 1/2yrs this time and he's coming home in 11 more day's. I've given my life over to Christ since he's been gone and my life is forever changed. I don't think he knows the extent of it yet. But he's about to find out ;) We could use some prayers for our family and the transitioning that will be taking place soon for all of us. I know God has us but prayers are welcomed. God bless
Angela Bernier May God reunite and bless you and your husband als never before.God answers prayers and i am a living testimony.Keep up you are in the right track
There's not one of us who's not broken Gods laws. We are all in a prison of sin, until we humble ourselves, admit our guilt, and accept Jesus as our Lord and savior. We can't get free without him. All glory to God.
@@jesserivera1462 My brother there's days I can't get finished praying for forgiveness and grace, before my evil tongue or thoughts don't come out with something else to pray the blood of Jesus over. The devil is roaming around like a lion, seeking whom he may devour. Because his time is so short. Read your bible and talk to the Father God as many times a day as you need to. Its really about your relationship with him not religion or church. God bless and protect you and your family. In Jesus name amen.
Praise Jesus. If you have breath in your lungs there is an opportunity to be Saved. May the brothers in Christ that were fervently worshipping alongside Zach continue worshipping the Lord no matter what comes their way.
Look this has brought me such joy being a former prisoner twice in my life. My wife and I now have a growing prison ministry and to see you taking the Gospel into the prison it is a beautiful thing! GOD bless you and yours!
Graham R. Taylor II wow God is so great ! Thanks for sharing this. I too have been in such dark places. But my heart is for Jesus my Lord and savior ..... I pray to Him everyday to help me through the day. It has been working !!!!! Keep up the ministry man!!!
I love a prison ministry. I've often sent free gospel tracts out to jails and prison. One pamphlet of God's word can save one soul. Hey if you want some free gospel tracts please let me know
Amen and praise Jesus for his redeeming power. My day was September 11th 2020 God reached down into the rubble of my life's destruction and pulled me into his Glory. Today I am full of joy for what he has done and is doing. Praise Jesus for what he is doing TODAY!
All the problems in the world, and Jesus has the cure for all of them, but when we don't think we need Him, He can't help. Our willingness to reach out to Him in our brokenness, then the conduit of the living power of His Grace, can fill us. And Zach is like loaves to feed the thousands. That is what we all need to be.

Last time I went to prison I finally turned back to Jesus. I was sat in a police cell waiting to be interviewed and I asked for a bible cause I knew God had brought me to that point and all I wanted was him. I got 3 and a half years and I never felt so free. I was released in 2012 and all I want is to live for him and share him with others.
Praise God ! My dad was/is maybe saved, maybe a Christian, but also a hot-tempered abusive narccicist who also was m/l spiritually abusive &/or self-serving, obsessed with the family farm ( keeping it in the family, no matter the cost to our family, and without being open - tho he wouldn't realize this - to discussion or serious prayer on how we could maybe do things differently and actually do both, well ). So, my oldest younger bro ( I have 5 total ) acted out in his late teens, ending up stealing from a dealership among other things & getting nearly 3 years in prison. To my great, great, great heartbreak and disappointment, he came back 90% crazy-ish ( for a while ) and spouting half-mormon theology/ideas and half atheist, and actually mocking the "Jesus freaks" he'd seen in prison ! I had worked like 2 plus men on the farm during those years and hadn't been able to talk with him much, hadn't realized this was where he was at, so, was a bit shocked and so sick. I lost the other sibling closest in age to me and who I'd been through a lot with ( my older sister is never been all that close with and she went to live with relatives when I was 12 ). Now, nearly 20 years later he's still an atheist as far as I know , and I've had to finally cut off contact with my folks, due to enablement issues etc. . I feel like someone who'd grown up in a foxhole, in a war zone and gradually lost everyone they'd been so close to, lost and alone in a world I don't know, with few I can relate with ( we were homeschooled by time I was 10 , and increasingly didn't get out much, besides also being a Christian so not being in with the worldly culture anyways , and only knowing dairy farming, job-wise ). Plz pray for my brother, older & younger sister and any other siblings not saved, and if my parents aren't, or growth and open eyes to better repent and help towards healing, if they are. So so blabby, but please, anyone, pray for us. I went thru many other traumas in my 1st 30 years too, and am just so wiped and so sad, homesick and heartbroken. My parents were by no means all bad, and we all had bonded a lot during the general hard times on a farm & in life.

I've listened to Zach Williams Chain Breaker & Fear is a Liar many times .Right now I'm watching & listening to him from Harding Prison & praising God right along with the inmates there ! Thank You Lord & Thank you Zach Williams for letting the men there see ,hear & feel Jesus despite those walls you are sharing Freedom !!!! I'm an old lady now but I have been that inmate and You are an anchor right now and a glimpse of hope !
All through this video my eyes were drawn to one man in the prison. I watched as he worshipped God...regardless of the fact that he was in jail, regardless of the fact that he was behind bars, behind a wall separated from his loved ones...He worshipped God and wasn't ashamed of his worship.. Yet, how many Sunday mornings, Sunday nights or Wednesday nights do we sit on a pew, with our hands crossed in our laps saying move me if you can God? Where is the joy of our salvation? Where is our love for what God has done for us? Where is our love for others?....
This is one song that I always turn the volume up and celebrate what Jesus has done for myself, my family, my church, and in the lives of those who trust and obey Jesus!!!
Just made it home 7 months ago after being locked up for a while. But I'm so thankful for what Jesus did for me how he changed me. I don't ever plan on going back unless it's to minister or sing. Because Jesus is my focus and he leads me and I follow him.
Love you Zach Williams and this is perfect you actually did what Jesus said you went to a prison and you visited the people in prison the songs are beautiful you have a beautiful soul my brother
The joy in that prison is palpable! Better than any high the world has to offer. If only those lost souls on the outside could tap into the freedom these men have found in Jesus. Zack, thank you for taking the Light in to these men, they are clearly hungry for more of what they have already found.. Jesus frees us!!
Larry Johnson I know what you are going through missing your father cuz mine passed away in 2016. I still cry til this day our song was butterfly kisses. My real mom has been gone for 33 years and I miss her just as bad
I heard this song over and over before but after seeing this video Zach William singing live in a prison. This song just shot through the roof with a even deeper meaning than before. I hope those men will hear the message and give their life to Christ.
I've been home a almost two weeks from prison, your music has helped clear my head so much, I'm a born again Christian cowboy reformed from my sinful ways
I love the guy that's so into it. Sometimes it's hard to find joy but remember joy is different than happiness. It goes beyond our circumstances and remembers eternity. Just what I needed this morning. Be blessed family.
This is a blessing because I need this to help me praise God while I am going through some difficult times. I know that God is always good. I have Jesus Christ as my Lord. I've done so many things that I could have been sent to prison for but I was almost ready to commit suicide. The Lord stopped me. I was able to go to a church and I got saved. My life is so much better now. I'm praying for the Zach Williams ministry to reach the ones that are almost giving up
Never been to jail or prison, hell never been in cuffs. My church does two men’s and one women’s prison ministry, absolutely life changing. If the tomb is empty, anything is possible. Congratulations to those that have accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior, may you walk peacefully in the grace of God as you continue your journey getting to know Christ.
...when I was in prison only Christ came and visit me....thank you Zack you are Christ in this concrete jungle... May Yahweh's blessing and Peace be upon you and your teammates.
A True man will bow down and worship the Lord no matter where he is. These men are in a very hard place where there is so much to be upheld. But to lay everything down and Worship the Lord like this is amazing. Amen and all Glory be to God.
I have never been to prison but I absolutely love this song. I'm praying for everyone who is going thru a difficult time. God is Great all the time. God bless you all ♥️♥️♥️
I can see the Lord working in these men. Some are new Christians while others show that they were raised in church, and have such peace on the faces remembering the love of our Saviour!!! Praying for them all.
This is a great video. It is heartwarming to see men that were once transgressors once sinners and criminals be changed by the blood of Jesus. Also that guy’s face at 3:22 is priceless. “This wasn’t in the rehearsal!” Hahaha
I need prayers for my 2 twin grandsons. I’ve been praying every day for God to release them from their drug and alcohol addictions but Satan has hold of them and just wont shake loose from their lives. I’ll never put them down because when you love someone you’ll never turn your back on them, no matter what. They refuse to hear about our Lord and Savior, it falls on deaf ears. When they tell me they’re tired of hearing from people how they are looser’s, my response is always your not looser”s you’ve just been making bad choices for your selves. Thank you Zach Williams for you inspirational music, its what gave me the courage to reach out for prayers.
How I love this song....powerful and revival for Australia! Hear and feel it our Gospel song. Thanks from moments of listening many times and will let nothing steal my Joy! Sweet salvation so beautiful. And soft, gentle Latter Rain falling in Aussie now. Keep going Brother. Alleluia!
Absolutely love this song!!! Very powerful video. I have a heart for those incarcerated. Heart breaking. I believe most are there because they were abused and I believe that they just didn’t have the tools to overcome others abuse to them.
I believe your right. That's not to say there aren't people in there that would stick a blade in your spine if you turned your back to them, there are, but Satan is responsible for the condition of their character. Some have completely given themselves over to the evil one, most of us, that includes those incarcerated, fight against him, Whether the individual knows this or not, their demons, their struggles, the habits they continue despite not wanting to, all have their roots in Satan. Once he has "trained" them to act upon temptation, sin becomes normal and likely encouraged. This is all just my opinion based on observation and study of the scriptures.
Former CO here...Yes and No. Many who have been victimized in turn victimize others. It is actually called "the circle of violence". This includes physical, emotional and sexual. The other part is that most are there for one of two reasons, meaning of all the inmates I've personally oversaw, one or both of the following reasons was factual in their lives: 1. lack of education and 2. broken homes. 75% of our incarcerated people are men. I only know a handful of the thousands of inmates who came from caring loving homes where both father and mother were present and active in their lives as well as completed at least High School. One that stands out was a 40 something that came home one day and walked in on his wife and the neighbor on his bed, he told me he has no idea what happened that he just blacked out and when he came to he was holding a shotgun and there was a lot of blood. This guy didn't even have a speeding ticket prior to this and he was a 6 figure earner. Believe me, this is extremely rare. The typical inmate is someone who many times didn't even graduate, then couldn't get a job, so they started stealing or slinging dope or whatever illegal means they could because they couldn't land a decent job because no one would hire them because they had no education and therefore didn't present themselves well to employers. So if we want to decrease our inmate population we need to do just a few things: 1. if you cannot afford to have kids, keep your private parts to yourself. 2. Don't have kids with anyone flaky, make sure they are productive members of society so they won't run off after the kid comes around. 3. Don't be your kid's friend, it's the parent's job to teach the kid how to act in society, and often that means they're going to be disappointed. IF we don't teach them to respect authority at home, then society will, and that often comes in the form of incarceration. May Yah continue to bless you and yours.
God he does make me happy and what will we do without him I need God in my heart even in my life I am only 12 years old and I going to turn 13 on April 1all because of my god.
It is incredible how so many know the letters, so many seeds of God that were sown in these lives, pray that they bear fruit and that they all receive salvation in Jesus Christ.
Zach Williams thanks for your song "Fair he is liar".it has helped me alot bc i have been battling with fear for a long time.now each time i am afraid i just sing the song.May God continues to enrich you with wisdom.Oh yes there is "nothing that gonna steal my joy" even you that has been incarcerated dont worry you will soon be out in JESUS name Amen
I cant understand how people can give a thumbs down for this video, a man of god coming to a prison praying and singing for the prisoners, god gives everybody second chances in live... thanks for your work god bless your soul, i salute you brother...
All of these hearts please and ZACH Williams know that Tova is in the sky he's a mighty warrior of God's Truth. Amen #familystrong Amen Lion of Judah Amen I am humbled
Hi Zach, my whole family and I are huge fans of you and your music. Your Harding prison tracks touched all of our hearts in a way we cannot describe. My older brother is currently incarcerated in a prison here in AZ. It would mean the world to my whole family and him if you would arrange to go and perform there. He is in a minimum security prison and most inmates including him are battling with addiction. He gets out July 2020. I would love if you or your team could reach out to me somehow to get my brothers information. Your story and music can touch so many people who are struggling! Your music is so anointed by the Holy Spirit I would love for my brother to be able to experience what I feel when I listen to your music.🙌🏻❤️
Intentional Homemaker I just want to take a moment to tell you that your support of your brother is wonderful! It’s imperative that he has a solid group of people who truly support him when he’s released. I was also incarcerated and got a chance to go to rehab as well. All by God’s mercy and grace, I’ve been saved and clean for 3 years now. I was touched by your comment because I leaned on my family a lot to help get me through, & it’s so nice to see that you genuinely care about your brother and are so supportive. I’ll be praying for you and your family. May God bless you all.
I love this. This is being Christ like. Many people speak or sing about it. This is living it. Thank you Mr. Williams and your band for being an example for all to see!
My Brother in Christ Brother Zach I'm always bless on hearing ur songs. I feels amazing after hearing and even when hearing. God bless u and ur team continue to sing for the Lord and inspire and encourage ur brethrens to come to Him. Once again God bless you all.
That's what I call a real captive audience. Right on Zach.. Jesus came to set the captives free ! Isaiah 61: 1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound,
I am new in Christ at 40 spent 30 years running from God. Saved at 10 Christian bible school mother who prayed and cried herself to sleep countless nights. All i left in my wake was destruction and broken harts. Biggest ine was my aBeen inside prison ran the streets delt drugs commited all kinds of violence
Nothing will ever steal my joy either. With God all things are possible in Jesus name. He’s always got me in the palm of his hand. Nothing works but God Almighty🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Zach for your efforts. The joy is seen in the faces of all those prisoners. We love all of you who are in prison. You're not forgotten and know that God loves all of you His children! Be set free by believing in Jesus Christ, the Saviour of ALL mankind. Receieve the gift of eternal life today. Believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
My God Zach you have now end it up at the top of my favorite artist of all time I have never heard so many songs that I can replay back to back that just tears my soul apart absolutely Amazing thank you Thank you for getting me through the curve balls of life !!!!
I love this. Praise God 🙌🙏 Keeping doors open for all walks of life. There's only 1 God there is only 1 Judge. Come as you are if you're seeking the truth 🙏❤️
This is a gratefully blest and happily tearful moment! Just watching all the love in that room was awesome! The power is in the words of JESUS! Thanks men of God.... :o)
Please pray for David, his mother is my pastor and he needs to be free from drugs totally and completely, he is still in jail, he was ministering to the inmates, I hope and pray he still is.
Love this song!!! Dancing 💃 in joy that noone can steal my joy. HARD alot of times...but God's got US!!! Ty Jesus! Clap you hands and stomp your feet til you find that beat!!!
Your songs are very inspiring, thankyou so much for helping me overcome my depression. Let God continued to use you for his glory. Your New fan here from Northeast India 🙋
I just came home from being locked up a week ago. I gave my life to the Lord while in prison. My life is forever changed!
Sky High congrats! I'll pray for countless blessings on you!

DOESN'T * and you're totally right
Dead or alive
nor a person dead

Bless you. Hebrews 13: 3 Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering as if you were suffering with them.
Beautiful!
Good in you Zachary. Listening from NZ

I've listened to Zach Williams Chain Breaker & Fear is a Liar many times .Right now I'm watching & listening to him from Harding Prison & praising God right along with the inmates there ! Thank You Lord & Thank you Zach Williams for letting the men there see ,hear & feel Jesus despite those walls you are sharing Freedom !!!! I'm an old lady now but I have been that inmate and You are an anchor right now and a glimpse of hope !
Praise God! Romans 8:18 For the sufferings of this present time do not compare to the glory that will be revealed to us!
Amen. Praise God 🙏🙌
All through this video my eyes were drawn to one man in the prison. I watched as he worshipped God...regardless of the fact that he was in jail, regardless of the fact that he was behind bars, behind a wall separated from his loved ones...He worshipped God and wasn't ashamed of his worship..
Yet, how many Sunday mornings, Sunday nights or Wednesday nights do we sit on a pew, with our hands crossed in our laps saying move me if you can God? Where is the joy of our salvation? Where is our love for what God has done for us? Where is our love for others?....
This is one song that I always turn the volume up and celebrate what Jesus has done for myself, my family, my church, and in the lives of those who trust and obey Jesus!!!
Just made it home 7 months ago after being locked up for a while. But I'm so thankful for what Jesus did for me how he changed me. I don't ever plan on going back unless it's to minister or sing. Because Jesus is my focus and he leads me and I follow him.
Love you Zach Williams and this is perfect you actually did what Jesus said you went to a prison and you visited the people in prison the songs are beautiful you have a beautiful soul my brother
The joy in that prison is palpable! Better than any high the world has to offer. If only those lost souls on the outside could tap into the freedom these men have found in Jesus. Zack, thank you for taking the Light in to these men, they are clearly hungry for more of what they have already found.. Jesus frees us!!
Lost my Dad 12 days ago. He was 95 but he was an amazing man. this music helps me through it
Larry Johnson Amazing that he lived that long! May Jesus give him rest and peace!
Larry Johnson I know what you are going through missing your father cuz mine passed away in 2016. I still cry til this day our song was butterfly kisses. My real mom has been gone for 33 years and I miss her just as bad
I heard this song over and over before but after seeing this video Zach William singing live in a prison. This song just shot through the roof with a even deeper meaning than before. I hope those men will hear the message and give their life to Christ.
I've been home a almost two weeks from prison, your music has helped clear my head so much, I'm a born again Christian cowboy reformed from my sinful ways
Tears of joy!
Thank God Almighty!
Free at last, even in these temporary bonds!!!
Bless you for takin it to the prisons. Haleluyah
I Thank God for this beautiful soul, who songs are so true to life and are uplifting 🙏😇❤
Locked up but free in God's Kingdom ♥
I love the guy that's so into it. Sometimes it's hard to find joy but remember joy is different than happiness. It goes beyond our circumstances and remembers eternity. Just what I needed this morning. Be blessed family.
AIN'T NOBODY GONNA STEAL MY JOY - JESUS IS MY JOY!!!
This is a blessing because I need this to help me praise God while I am going through some difficult times. I know that God is always good. I have Jesus Christ as my Lord. I've done so many things that I could have been sent to prison for but I was almost ready to commit suicide. The Lord stopped me. I was able to go to a church and I got saved. My life is so much better now. I'm praying for the Zach Williams ministry to reach the ones that are almost giving up
Never been to jail or prison, hell never been in cuffs. My church does two men’s and one women’s prison ministry, absolutely life changing. If the tomb is empty, anything is possible. Congratulations to those that have accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior, may you walk peacefully in the grace of God as you continue your journey getting to know Christ.
...when I was in prison only Christ came and visit me....thank you Zack you are Christ in this concrete jungle...
May Yahweh's blessing and Peace be upon you and your teammates.
A True man will bow down and worship the Lord no matter where he is. These men are in a very hard place where there is so much to be upheld. But to lay everything down and Worship the Lord like this is amazing.
Amen and all Glory be to God.
I have never been to prison but I absolutely love this song. I'm praying for everyone who is going thru a difficult time. God is Great all the time. God bless you all ♥️♥️♥️
I can see the Lord working in these men. Some are new Christians while others show that they were raised in church, and have such peace on the faces remembering the love of our Saviour!!! Praying for them all.
This is a great video. It is heartwarming to see men that were once transgressors once sinners and criminals be changed by the blood of Jesus. Also that guy’s face at 3:22 is priceless. “This wasn’t in the rehearsal!” Hahaha
hahahaha you’re very attentive
This is pure joy. There is always light in the darkest of places. Keep praising Him and He will bring joy !!!
"Ain't nothin gona steal my JOY ✨💖!
💖 this song.
I need prayers for my 2 twin grandsons. I’ve been praying every day for God to release them from their drug and alcohol addictions but Satan has hold of them and just wont shake loose from their lives. I’ll never put them down because when you love someone you’ll never turn your back on them, no matter what. They refuse to hear about our Lord and Savior, it falls on deaf ears. When they tell me they’re tired of hearing from people how they are looser’s, my response is always your not looser”s you’ve just been making bad choices for your selves. Thank you Zach Williams for you inspirational music, its what gave me the courage to reach out for prayers.
Keep the faith and strength, one day they will find jesus and the strength of redemption
Believed and you shall receive
How I love this song....powerful and revival for Australia! Hear and feel it our Gospel song. Thanks from moments of listening many times and will let nothing steal my Joy! Sweet salvation so beautiful. And soft, gentle Latter Rain falling in Aussie now. Keep going Brother. Alleluia!
Great band. And singing praise to those precious human beings in prison. May Jesus bless the band and the prisoners .
Rejoicing and worshiping with you from Alaska ❤️
Ain’t nothing gonna steal the joy of anybody that follows Jesus Christ. Amen?
😇🙌🏻
Absolutely love this song!!! Very powerful video. I have a heart for those incarcerated. Heart breaking. I believe most are there because they were abused and I believe that they just didn’t have the tools to overcome others abuse to them.
I believe your right. That's not to say there aren't people in there that would stick a blade in your spine if you turned your back to them, there are, but Satan is responsible for the condition of their character. Some have completely given themselves over to the evil one, most of us, that includes those incarcerated, fight against him, Whether the individual knows this or not, their demons, their struggles, the habits they continue despite not wanting to, all have their roots in Satan. Once he has "trained" them to act upon temptation, sin becomes normal and likely encouraged. This is all just my opinion based on observation and study of the scriptures.
Former CO here...Yes and No. Many who have been victimized in turn victimize others. It is actually called "the circle of violence". This includes physical, emotional and sexual. The other part is that most are there for one of two reasons, meaning of all the inmates I've personally oversaw, one or both of the following reasons was factual in their lives: 1. lack of education and 2. broken homes.
75% of our incarcerated people are men. I only know a handful of the thousands of inmates who came from caring loving homes where both father and mother were present and active in their lives as well as completed at least High School. One that stands out was a 40 something that came home one day and walked in on his wife and the neighbor on his bed, he told me he has no idea what happened that he just blacked out and when he came to he was holding a shotgun and there was a lot of blood. This guy didn't even have a speeding ticket prior to this and he was a 6 figure earner. Believe me, this is extremely rare. The typical inmate is someone who many times didn't even graduate, then couldn't get a job, so they started stealing or slinging dope or whatever illegal means they could because they couldn't land a decent job because no one would hire them because they had no education and therefore didn't present themselves well to employers.
So if we want to decrease our inmate population we need to do just a few things: 1. if you cannot afford to have kids, keep your private parts to yourself. 2. Don't have kids with anyone flaky, make sure they are productive members of society so they won't run off after the kid comes around. 3. Don't be your kid's friend, it's the parent's job to teach the kid how to act in society, and often that means they're going to be disappointed. IF we don't teach them to respect authority at home, then society will, and that often comes in the form of incarceration.
May Yah continue to bless you and yours.
God he does make me happy and what will we do without him I need God in my heart even in my life I am only 12 years old and I going to turn 13 on April 1all because of my god.
It is incredible how so many know the letters, so many seeds of God that were sown in these lives, pray that they bear fruit and that they all receive salvation in Jesus Christ.

Amen! Amen! Amen!
Hi Zach, my whole family and I are huge fans of you and your music. Your Harding prison tracks touched all of our hearts in a way we cannot describe. My older brother is currently incarcerated in a prison here in AZ. It would mean the world to my whole family and him if you would arrange to go and perform there. He is in a minimum security prison and most inmates including him are battling with addiction. He gets out July 2020. I would love if you or your team could reach out to me somehow to get my brothers information. Your story and music can touch so many people who are struggling! Your music is so anointed by the Holy Spirit I would love for my brother to be able to experience what I feel when I listen to your music.🙌🏻❤️
Intentional Homemaker I just want to take a moment to tell you that your support of your brother is wonderful! It’s imperative that he has a solid group of people who truly support him when he’s released. I was also incarcerated and got a chance to go to rehab as well. All by God’s mercy and grace, I’ve been saved and clean for 3 years now. I was touched by your comment because I leaned on my family a lot to help get me through, & it’s so nice to see that you genuinely care about your brother and are so supportive. I’ll be praying for you and your family. May God bless you all.
I love this. This is being Christ like. Many people speak or sing about it. This is living it. Thank you Mr. Williams and your band for being an example for all to see!
This series of songs from the prison are some of the very best of youtube,Praise Jesus.
My Brother in Christ Brother Zach I'm always bless on hearing ur songs. I feels amazing after hearing and even when hearing. God bless u and ur team continue to sing for the Lord and inspire and encourage ur brethrens to come to Him. Once again God bless you all.
That's what I call a real captive audience.
Right on Zach..
Jesus came to set the captives free !
Isaiah 61: 1
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound,
I see what you did there lol
I am new in Christ at 40 spent 30 years running from God. Saved at 10 Christian bible school mother who prayed and cried herself to sleep countless nights. All i left in my wake was destruction and broken harts. Biggest ine was my aBeen inside prison ran the streets delt drugs commited all kinds of violence
