The Jack Brewer Show S1 EP5 Charles Duke Tanner on Redemption, Fatherhood & Second Chances #podcast

From prison to pardon: Charles Duke Tanner shares his journey of faith, fatherhood, and freedom.

Jack Brewer, former NFL captain and faith leader, welcomes Charles Duke Tanner—a former professional boxer turned national voice for redemption and second chances. Once sentenced to double life in prison, Tanner opens up about his unshakable faith, raising a son from behind bars, and the moment President Donald J. Trump granted him clemency—and later, a full pardon.

In this gripping, emotional, and deeply spiritual conversation, Jack and Duke expose the broken criminal justice system, celebrate fatherhood as a God-given calling, and confront the cultural lies confusing a generation of men and boys.

Duke’s journey—from undefeated fighter to federal inmate, and now community builder—is a living testimony of grace, grit, and God’s purpose.

Together, they unpack:

The difference between clemency and a presidential pardon

The failures of past administrations vs. President Trump’s First Step Act

Raising a son from prison and restoring fatherhood

The spiritual battle behind gender confusion in prisons

The real meaning of masculinity in a culture at war with truth
