FROM LOCK UP
TO
LEGACY
FAITH-BASED MENTAL HEALTH
with Pastor George Moore, Jr.
The Power of Mental Health and Storytelling in Transformation
From Lock Up to Legacy is a movement that prioritizes mental health—the process of renewing thoughts, reshaping identity, and overcoming mental barriers—as the foundation for lasting transformation. This concept acknowledges that incarceration, whether physical or psychological, does not have to define one’s future. Instead, it can be the starting point for cognitive renewal, emotional healing, and building a meaningful legacy.
At the core of this transformation is storytelling, a powerful tool that influences the mind and reshapes identity. Scientific research has shown that storytelling activates multiple areas of the brain, including those responsible for emotion, memory, and decision-making. Engaging with real-life testimonies can increase neural connectivity, strengthen emotional resilience, and even rewire the brain—all of which are essential for individuals seeking personal renewal.

The Bible itself is a collection of transformative stories that challenge thinking, inspire faith, and renew the mind (Romans 12:2). “From Lock Up to Legacy” applies this same method, using real-life testimonies to help justice-impacted individuals and others overcome negative thought patterns, embrace second chances, and build a future beyond their past.
The Reason I Give Him Praise
The Reason I give Him Praise aims to help readers overcome challenges and find breakthroughs in difficult circumstances. It emphasizes shifting focus from problems to God as the problem solver, encouraging praise even amidst adversity.
Using the analogy of a house built on a rock, the book provides biblical insights to build inner strength against external difficulties.
It includes testimonies from individuals who have overcome opposition, offering practical advice and culminating in a Prayer of Salvation and a 31-Day Praise Devotional, encouraging readers to embrace and share their faith.
