From Gangster to Grace | Steve Miller | TEDxDonovanCorrectional

Bound by the cold concrete and oppressive steel of prison walls, this human cocoon has produced a transformational process from criminal to Christian, achieving self-acceptance and hope.
"I describe myself as different in almost every way. I strive to be a student of life and a Man of God, always learning from the things around me. Seeing the good in others and the happiness inside them inspires me to be good-hearted, and always letting my sense of humor shine through. TEDx is a minister of new ideas for change and that’s exactly where I’m at in my own life today."
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I LOVE this talk! GREAT job Steve Miller!... I had the privilege of meeting Steve on multiple occasions as a volunteer helping on the first Tedx at Donovan, and Steve always radiated an extraordinary kindness and positivity. But this talk is my first time to hear his story. I'm so glad he shared it in such an honest and powerful way!

    Happy for you're change. It feels good to finally start hoping again. Criminality just doesn't bring joy.

    There are millions and millions of people who don't commit crime, live a good life, help others without a thought for themselves and respect every ones culture, and lifestyles. You don't religion or God.
