Todd Chrisley has come to terms with his and wife Julie Chrisley's futures.
Recorded before the Chrisley Knows Best stars began serving their federal fraud case prison sentences on Jan. 17, Todd shared a surprisingly positive outlook on the Jan. 18 episode of his and Julie's Chrisley Confessions podcast.
"I think that that's why I'm in a better place with it, because I know that this is not my final destination," he shared. "I know that this may be my future for a minute, but I also have faith that the judicial system is going to turn it around. I also have faith that the appellate court is going to see this for what it is."
Todd and Julie were sentenced to serve 12 and seven years behind bars, respectively, in November 2022 after being found guilty of tax evasion and bank fraud by an Atlanta federal jury in June 2022. Following their sentencing, the family's attorney, Alex Little of Burr & Forman LLP, told E! News that the couple plans to fight their convictions.
"You just have to hope and pray to God that when one division of the judicial system fails," Todd said on the podcast, "that the next level, which is the appellate court, sees the mistakes and tries to correct those mistakes."
At the end of the day, Todd said all he and his family can do is hold on to their faith, adding, "You have to put your faith in God and hope that God is going to lift you up and push you forward."
Julie shared a similar statement on the podcast, as she stated that their sentencing has been a "test" that "will become a testimony."
"We do believe that there is purpose in this pain and we do not believe that this is the end of the road for us," she continued, "that we are just beginning to scratch the surface of God's will for our lives."
Wrapping up the discussion, Julie shared her appreciation for fans, stating, "We thank every person who listens to our podcast. We just thank you for that and thank you for your prayers."
