Shot six times. Saved on the streets. Minister to death row inmates in San Quentin prison. Chaplain for the San Francisco 49ers and Golden State Warriors. The story of Earl Smith is one you just can’t miss.
Earl Smith is the chaplain for the San Francisco 49ers and the Golden State Warriors. But his journey to arrive there is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before.
After being shot six times in a gang-related attack, Earl somehow survived, but then found himself in San Quentin prison—not as a prisoner, but as a chaplain. After spending twenty-three years that included playing chess with Charles Manson, negotiated truces between rival gangs, and bore witness to the final thoughts of many death row inmates, he now ministers to professional athletes.
As for the details of how this all happened, well, you’ll have to let him tell it. But trust us, it’s an incredible story you won’t want to miss…
