From Struggle to Sovereignty: Derrick Sanders' Journey of Faith and Redemption

  • Summary

  • Derrick Sanders, an inmate at MODOC's JCCC, shared his transformative journey of faith, reflecting on his upbringing as a Christian and his embrace of Islam. Derrick spoke candidly about the critical role forgiveness played in his healing process—both in reconciling with those he had wronged and, most importantly, forgiving himself. Initially, he struggled with self-forgiveness, but wise counsel from an older mentor helped him view himself differently and inspired him to pray fervently to hear God's voice. Derrick recounted a profound moment when God answered his prayer, waking him from sleep with a clear calling of his name, though no one stood outside his cell door. That experience solidified Derrick’s belief in God’s presence and voice, a connection he had longed for since attending church multiple times a week with his mother as a young man. Derrick’s foremost goal is to please God, avoiding the trappings of religion while seeking a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit to guide him toward truth and a deeper understanding of God’s sovereignty. Committed to his path of redemption, Derrick aspires to be a great man in God’s eyes, dedicating himself to constant study and spiritual growth.
