Redemption & Responsibility: Kyle's Journey After Incarceration

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. - Aug. 14, 2025 - PRLog -- In this powerful episode of Divided Attention, host Don Peterson speaks with Kyle, a Kansas City native who opens up about his time in prison and the hard work of rebuilding life after it. More than just a redemption arc, Kyle's story is about breaking cycles, healing fatherhood wounds, and learning to trust again. "People assume you come out of prison a changed man, but it takes real work," Kyle says. "Accountability. Faith. And having somebody who believes in you when you don't even believe in yourself."

From being incarcerated at 22 to now being a committed community member, Kyle speaks candidly about the pain of incarceration and the slow, difficult climb toward wholeness. He shares how poetry and faith gave him the tools to process trauma and how mentorship and community gave him the confidence to keep going. "I used to think pain made me weak. Now I know my scars are proof that I made it through,"  he reflects.  This episode is a raw and redemptive look at what happens when we choose grace over guilt, truth over shame, and purpose over the past."
