The Jim Walhberg Story: Conversion in Prison, Now a Catholic Filmmaker

I’ve said it before, guys, and I’ll say it again: Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good, He came to make dead people ALIVE! That is surely the case with my good friend, Jim Wahlberg.

Jim is the exact middle child of THE famous Wahlberg family. He started getting involved in drinking and crime at a very young age and by age twelve, he was a ward of the state. He spent years in-and-out of prison and even time in solitary confinement before he was 30.

It was during one of his prison sentences where he picked up a job as a custodian for a Catholic priest at the prison chapel and Jim’s life changed FOREVER. He was introduced to the forgiveness and love of Jesus! We talk about meeting Mother Teresa, being “Mom’s favorite,” and his current work in filmmaking and on Jesus Thirsts: the Miracle of the Eucharist.

Jim’s story is one of God’s redemption and healing goodness, and I can’t wait to share it with you!
