The Full Story
Terrell Rhodes is living proof that your past doesn’t have to define your future. Once facing six felony convictions that could have ended his story, he turned what looked like a dead end into a powerful testimony of faith, redemption, and purpose.
Raised in a faith-filled home, Terrell learned early the values of family, integrity, and service. He served his country as a Marine, built a family, and became a respected leader in his community, until life took an unexpected turn. After a painful divorce and a season of personal loss, one decision led to another, and soon he found himself behind bars, forced to face who he was … and who he was called to be.
Prison, however, didn’t break him, it built him. Within those walls, Terrell found clarity, discipline, and a renewed faith in God. He used that time to transform his mindset and prepare for the life waiting beyond the gates.
Within six months of his release, he launched his first six-figure business. Two years later, he bought his dream home and began mentoring others who were ready to rebuild their own lives through faith, focus, and perseverance.
Today, Terrell Rhodes is a minister, motivational speaker, author of From Felonies to Fortune: Rhodes to Redemption, and a life coach helping men and women rise above their circumstances. Whether he’s speaking from the pulpit, on stage, or one-on-one, his message stays the same:
“Your past doesn’t disqualify you...it prepares you.”
