Meet Ruben Davis: From 27 to Life to Helping Others Come Home – Join us on Thurs 2/5

Join us for our Embraced:Fully Monthly Interview Series on Thursday, February 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM (Pacific) on Zoom. Everyone is welcome!

Our special guest will be Ruben Davis, a formerly incarcerated juvenile lifer whose life story is one of profound transformation, faith, and perseverance.

About Our Guest: Ruben Davis

Ruben Davis was sentenced to 27 years to life at the age of 16 and spent nearly three decades in California prisons, where he ultimately chose a radically different path—leaving behind addiction, gang culture, and violence to pursue recovery, education, and spiritual renewal.

Through sustained self-examination, faith, and action, Ruben rebuilt his life from the inside out. After earning his release, he dedicated himself to helping others successfully reenter society. Today, Ruben serves as a Senior Retention Specialist, supporting probationers and parolees with employment, recovery, and long-term reintegration.

Drawing from lived experience, he is a powerful voice on identity, redemption, and what real transformation requires—both inside prison walls and beyond them.

In This Interview We’ll Explore:

The turning point — What sparked the decision to change?

Faith and recovery — How spiritual renewal shaped his journey

Education behind bars — Pursuing growth in the hardest conditions

Supporting reentry today — His work helping others avoid re-incarceration
