This Sunday we’re going to be in John 12:20–36, and it starts with one of the most honest requests in the whole Bible:

“Sir, we would like to see Jesus.” (John 12:21)

That’s the cry of a searching heart. Not, “Show me religion.” Not, “Fix my image.” Not, “Help me look good.” Just, “I need Jesus.”

In this passage, Jesus answers in a surprising way. He points to the cross, and He says real life comes through surrender, like a seed that falls into the ground and dies, then produces a harvest. What looks like loss becomes life. What feels buried is not forgotten. God does His best work underground before you ever see the fruit.

Jesus also says He is the Light, and He calls us to stop living in the shadows and walk in the light while we have it. If you’ve been tired, stuck, ashamed, or just worn down from trying to carry everything yourself, this message is for you.

Come expecting to see Jesus, not just hear about Him.

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.
