In today’s episode of the Praying Christian Women Podcast, we’re joined by Tammy Franklin, a woman whose extraordinary story embodies the power of redemption and God’s relentless grace.

Nearly 200,000 women in America are behind bars today, many carrying the heavy burdens of trauma, shame, and brokenness. Tammy knows that world firsthand. Once trapped in addiction and incarceration, Tammy cried out one simple prayer: “God, help me.” That desperate plea became the turning point that changed everything.

Now, years later, Tammy oversees Prison Fellowship’s correctional programs across the South Central U.S., helping women discover the same hope and healing that transformed her life.

In this powerful conversation, Tammy shares her journey from trauma and addiction to freedom and faith, and why no story – no matter how broken – is ever beyond God’s redemption.

Whether you’re walking through your own valley or praying for someone who is, Tammy’s story will remind you that God absolutely can create beauty out of ashes.
