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.
