Birthday Thank You

-Birthday Thank You-

THANK YOU!!!

I mean those two simple words from the deepest depths of my soul. Your heartfelt birthday wishes made me UGLY CRY in a crowded prison computer room. I’m pretty sure the hardened criminals who surround me on a daily basis now think I’m a giant SALLY who sobs WWWAAAYYY too often.

That’s okay though—I like to FEEL the outside world. Your “Happy Birthdays” brought me HOME mentally and spiritually for a day. THANK YOU for this priceless birthday gift.

I promise to continue proving worthy of your overflowing love and support. It’s honestly crazy how much purpose has been birthed out of this pit people call prison. Our God continues to turn the mess I created into a healing miracle.

I’m in awe of our Great Redeeming God and filled with gratitude for the grace and mercy that has been given to me. THANK YOU for believing in this broken man. I draw endless strength from your constant words of encouragement.

I hope you know that YOU are making a massive impact on my barbed wire brothers. Because of YOU, they believe people with a “past” can work to reconcile with society and find their God-given purpose WHILE in prison.

THANK YOU for bringing the heart of Jesus to my broken brothers.

I’m honestly not sure how many more birthdays I’ll be celebrating behind barbed wire. But one thing I am certain of is this…

WE WILL CONTINUE TO SHINE THE LIGHT OF CHRIST INTO THE DARK ABYSS OF FEDERAL PRISON!!!

These hurting men need us—and they are worthy of a God-given purpose because of the blood of Jesus.

I miss all of you so much, and I dream of the day I can receive a happy birthday hug from you in person.

Be warned though… I will 100% be UGLY CRYING when I reach in for the BIGGEST BRETT HUG you have ever received.

Love you,
Brett
(A beyond blessed 40-year-old federal prisoner, father, husband, & friend)

PRE-ORDER TODAY

Text me at (714) 410-2191 if you’d like to order Shatter Your Shame as a special First Edition! 

Brett and I are so excited (and honestly still a little in awe) to officially announce the pre-order for our new book, Shatter Your Shame.

This book was written inside a federal prison—on random pieces of scratch paper, with a dull pencil, behind razor-sharp barbed wire and an electrified fence. What started as handwritten prison letters has turned into a powerful testimony of redemption, responsibility, faith, and purpose.

Shatter Your Shame is for anyone who carries the weight of their past, the burden of regret, or the quiet pain of shame—and is ready to see how God redeems what the world calls broken.

Brett writes with raw honesty about the worst decisions of his life, the consequences that followed, and the miraculous way God met him in the pit of prison and transformed his shame into purpose. These are one-of-a-kind prison stories that will help you heal, rise, and walk forward unchained.

Pre-order Shatter Your Shame today and be part of a story God is still writing.
