In 1984, Bishop Cornelius Bowser experienced a major transition: he decided to leave gang- and street-life behind and turn his life over to Christ. In this episode, we talk about the years that preceded and the years that followed that momentous decision. We cover his growing up in The Coast—a neighborhood in San Diego that was the home of the West Coast Crips, the gang he was heavily involved with in the 70s and early 80s—and the process of opening his own church. Drawing on his roots and his sense of mission, he worked with local gang members and became involved in several intervention programs, becoming a certified drug prevention specialist along the way. Finally, we discuss his current work, including No Shots Fired and Seasons of Peace, both focused on gun violence prevention.
