This Sunday, we’re in John 12:1–19, a powerful moment where two scenes fade into one story:

The Fragrance of Worship (Mary pouring out what’s most valuable at Jesus’ feet)

The King on a Donkey (Jesus entering Jerusalem… not on a war horse, but in humility)

And right in the middle is a question we all have to answer:

Am I pouring my life out for Jesus… or am I standing back criticizing?

Am I following the crowd… or surrendering to the King?

In this passage, we see:

Mary’s extravagant worship (a love that doesn’t count the cost)

Judas’ criticism (with his spiritual-sounding excuses that hide a heart issue)

A cheering crowd (with loud praise that can fade when Jesus doesn’t meet their expectations)

Jesus, the true King—moving steadily toward the cross for our salvation

If you’ve ever felt like your past disqualifies you, or you’re tired of fake faith and shallow hype, this message is for you. Jesus still brings people from the tomb to the table… and He’s worthy of everything we’ve got.

Come worship with us this Sunday. Bring someone who needs hope.

Rugged Cross Tree Service did an outstanding job removing two trees at Inside Out Recovery.

From start to finish, their team was professional, prompt, and safety-focused, with clear communication and a strong work ethic you do not see every day.

They showed up prepared, handled the removals efficiently.

It was obvious they knew exactly what they were doing, and they treated our facility and grounds with care and respect the whole time.

If you need reliable, skilled tree work done right, we highly recommend Rugged Cross Tree Service for your tree service needs.

Celebrate Recovery is this Tuesday night, 7–9 PM, and we’re jumping into Lesson 4: Sanity.

So many of us have tried to “think our way out” of what we’ve been living through, only to end up right back in the same cycles.

This lesson is a reminder that real change starts when we stop trusting ourselves to fix what we can’t, and we start trusting God to restore what’s been broken.

If you’re tired, stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready for something different, come join us. You don’t have to have it all together, you just have to show up.

Snow Day Challenge: ACCEPTED ☃️😄

We had a fun-filled snow day today, and yes… somebody decided it was a great idea to run outside in shorts and make snow angels. 😂❄️

Was it cold? Absolutely.
Was it worth it? 100%.

Did we laugh way too hard? You already know.
Sometimes you just have to embrace the moment, act like a kid again, and make a memory.

Alright, your turn: would you do the “shorts + snow angels” challenge or are you staying inside with hot chocolate? 👇🔥☕️

Danny Kupke,

Congratulations on three years of sobriety!

That’s a huge milestone, and it speaks to your courage, your perseverance, and the daily choices you’ve made to keep moving forward.

Three years isn’t just time on a calendar, it’s three years of showing up, doing the work, and refusing to go back to the life that tried to take you out. Your story is proof that freedom is possible, and your life is an encouragement to everyone who’s still fighting for their next right step.

I’m proud of you, Danny. Keep going. One day at a time, God is still writing your story.

With respect and gratitude.

Happy New Year from Inside Out Recovery

As we step into 2026, we are filled with gratitude, hope, and expectation for what God will continue to do.

A new year doesn’t mean a perfect past or an easy road ahead—but it does remind us that change is possible, healing is real, and new beginnings are always within reach.

At Inside Out Recovery, we believe every life has value, every story matters, and no one is beyond restoration. This year, we look forward to walking alongside men as they pursue freedom, growth, and lasting transformation—one day at a time.

Thank you to our supporters, volunteers, churches, and community partners who make this work possible. Your prayers and encouragement truly change lives.

Here’s to new mercies, renewed strength, and second chances in 2026.

When the Stones Come Out (John 10:31–42)

Have you ever noticed how quickly things can turn?
Jesus says one of the most comforting lines in Scripture:

“No one can sn**ch them out of my hand.” (John 10:28, NIV 1984)

…and the very next verse says they picked up stones to stone Him. (John 10:31)

Same Jesus. Same truth.

But when Jesus won’t stay “safe” — when He claims to be more than a good teacher — the stones come out.

Maybe you’ve felt some of those stones lately:
words, labels, accusations, shame from your past, or even doubts in your own heart.

Here’s the hope of this passage:

Jesus didn’t back down, and He doesn’t back away from you.

He reasons with us.
He invites us to look at His works.
He leads us to a quiet place where faith can grow.
And He still says:

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can sn**ch them out of my hand.” (John 10:27–28, NIV 1984)

If you’ve been under pressure…
if you’ve been wrestling…
if you need to come back to where it all started…

Come this Sunday and let Jesus remind you:

You are safe in His hand.
