Roger Stone discusses newfound Christian faith with Eric Metaxas By WND Staff
“The good news is we can all get right with God’
When Roger Stone stood up at a Franklin Graham rally in Florida last January in reponse to a call to receive Jesus Christ as his savior, it felt like a “cement block” had been removed from his chest.
Facing prison on process charges in Robert Mueller’s special counsel probe, a number of people in his life had been urging him to turn to God, and he had been pursuing that path. But the moment he felt God’s transforming grace, he said, came the afternoon of Jan. 18 at the Sunset Cove Amphitheater in Boca Raton, Florida, at Graham’s invitation.

“All the tension in my neck and shoulders was gone. I was almost euphoric. I had a new confidence, I had a new outlook. It really was life-changing,” he recalled in an interview Thursday with Eric Metaxas.
Referring to the criminal case against him, Stone said he was “no longer scared.”
Prior to the public meeting, he had met privately with Graham, asking the evangelist to appeal on his behalf to President Trump. Stone explained that a court order prevented him from contacting Trump, his longtime friend.
Graham said that whatever many happen, whether he went to prison or not, his strong advice was to turn to God.
Stone said he knew that secular media would mock him, noting an article in the Washington Monthly calling his reported conversion a joke and a ploy.
“It doesn’t matter what they think. All that matters is what he thinks,” Stone told Metaxas, smiling and pointing his index finger skyward.
“And he knows what’s in my heart.”
‘CNN got great footage’
Stone was indicted Jan. 24, 2019, by a federal grand jury for obstruction, false statements and witness tampering in the special counsel investigation by Robert Mueller probing alleged Trump campaign collusion with Russia. Mueller found no such collusion. And he couldn’t find evidence of the claim that Stone collaborated with Wikileaks to release emails damaging to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
