Wes Pritchett - Faith, Survival and Unexpected Grace

At just 19, Wes Pritchett was arrested at gunpoint in Texas and spent almost seven months in the Dallas County Jail. He had been a young musician and had never been formally charged with a serious crime. In this powerful conversation with Rodney Olsen, Wes recalls the dangers he faced, the unexpected friendships that helped him survive, and the supernatural encounter that gave him hope in his darkest hour. It’s a story he kept to himself for 45 years.

Wes went on to play bass in a Los Angeles band, spend three decades on Wall Street, and, with his wife Winnie, put thousands of iPads into the hands of US service members. He now shares his story in his new memoir, The Decker Hilton: A True Story of Faith, Survival and Unexpected Grace, in the hope that anyone feeling lost will know there is a way forward. Listen to the episode, and share it with someone who might need to hear it.
