Fortitude
Everyone has a story of Fortitude! When we tell our stories of pain in adversity - stories of courage, redemption and hope - we give others permission to speak up and get the help they need. Each episode will give the listener a look inside what overcoming adversity looks like no matter what life throws at you. Each story is uniquely different - stories of alcoholism/addiction, infidelity, rape, abuse, loss of a child/children, cancer, rare disease, tragic accidents...etc.! We are in this life together to support one another and build community around hope and redemption. I am your host, Heather Kittelson, and I am so excited to have you here as part of the Fortitude community!

#20: Stephan Harrison - Prisoners' Preacher
Stephan Harrison, a follower of Jesus Christ, believes in the radical story of redemption because he has experienced it first hand.
Having come from a past of brokenness, chaos, and incarceration - Stephan values the importance of good decision making and obedience.
Stephan was deemed by a local news station in SD to be the prisoners’ preacher; a title which has stuck and he strives to live up to everyday.
He was released from prison just last year (2022) - after serving 21 years in prison. He resides in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and currently works at 'Freedom Gate' as a Ministry Coordinator. The way Stephan shines God's light everyday to the lost, the hopeless and the searching is an inspiration to us all.
Stephan is an author, evangelist, and preacher. It is his hope to make an impact on the world by serving God's people and fulfilling his God-given purpose here on earth each and every day.
