Background Check Podcast

Author: Jay Dan Gumm

After five DWIs landed me prison, something had to change. One day I got into a fight and I spent eight days in solitaire confinement thinking about my life and the decisions I had made that led me to that dark place, literally. I came out of the hole a different man with a different heart, mind, soul, direction, and outlook on life. I got mentored by a couple of inmates who eventually made parole but within a year they were both back in. This confused me and ticked me off. I wondered how I was going to make it out there. Since my release in 2006 weve opened up a transitional house for men, with another ranch coming, launched a documentary, been on the Mike Huckabee Show, launched this podcast, and it goes into prisons all over the nation.

EP 225 "Just One More Kiss Mommy" with Sarah Burt
Episode 243
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026

Facebook Post: "She didn’t know it then… but the woman watching that podcast from a prison cell ….would one day be sitting on it. 🔥"- Sarah Burt This episode we sit down with Sarah Burt and talk life, addiction, muscle deterioration, motherhood, prison, plea deals, and losing custody of children. We talk a lot about Jesus too. It wasn't too long ago that Sarah was sitting on her bunk watching the podcast from her prison unit. Now she's out, involved in helping people out here, and back inside prison, all while on her journey to get her relationship with her kids restored. "We serve a God of restoration" says Sarah. We play a tribute to all mothers everywhere at the beginning of the episode with a poem about mother's and some pics of some amazing ladies. We laugh and cry our way to talking for almost 90 minutes. It's that good of a story. Share with someone you know, especially a mom.
