  • DRUG OPERATION LEADER to SECOND CHANCE MENTOR | God Behind Bars Podcast
    Jan 7 2025

    In this episode we connect with Shawn Serfass who went from drug dealing to leading a ministry called Second Chance Mentors. Grew up with a normal family but after getting introduced to cocaine in college his world went down a slippery slope. Kicked out of college and later kicked out of the marines, Shawn made the decision to dive into a drug operation. Where he found success he found his world without success and decided to step away, but charges still found their way to lock him up. Losing his time with his family he decided to take the time locked up to improve himself. Shawn met God and worked to encourage others with the word with small groups. Years later, Shawn served his time and now leads Second Chance Mentors where underprivileged without their fathers can have a resource to get them ready with the world.
