Jon Ponder is a man who has made a huge difference in this world.

He’s the type of guy that you look at, and you realize that everything does happen for a reason.

Jon went to prison when he was 16-years-old. And from that first arrest, until he was 37-years-old he was in and out of the system – destined to be just another statistic.

Mr. Ponder was arrested for a string of bank robberies.

He was facing possible life in federal prison, and it was at that moment,  in that. the courtroom,  before the judge, that Mr. Ponder made a “deal” with God that he would change his life and make a difference, and every single day since that moment he has done just that.

I believe in second chances. We all need second chances. Some of us need “third chances” and that’s okay.

I love this story, and I love what President Trump is doing to help people get that second chance at a good life.
