Set Free - Inside Out

03/24/2026

15 years today...

From the dark cell of my mind to the dark cell of a jail to light and new life that I now have the privilege to carry back to dark celled minds in dark cell places.
How can it be???

"God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God."
Ephesians 2:8

2 Corinthains 5:18
"And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him."

All for and to the glory of God in Christ Jesus ❤️

The one constant over these past 15 years is God's faithfulness. From the beginning until now...He never changes. And it is all still a gift 🎁 ❤️

🎓 Inside Out Recovery Program Graduation 🎓

10 men. One decision. A different direction.

We want to take a moment to say thank you 🙏

Sheriff Craft, Chief Turner, Warden Conn, Detective Burwell, and the entire Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office—thank you for trusting us, for opening the doors, and for allowing us the opportunity to come in and sow into the lives of the men here. 🚔

👏 We honor and recognize 10 graduates of the Inside Out Recovery Program.
These men chose to lean into the process, to face what wasn’t easy, and to pursue something different for their lives.

💙 A special thank you to Pastors Greg and Nicole Crawford and The Church International in Rosepine.
Your generosity in providing the graduation gowns—and your presence and service—brought dignity and honor to this moment in a powerful way.

📣 During the graduation message, Pastor Greg said:
“Easy gets us where we are, but hard work gets us to where God wants us to be.”

💪 That’s what we witnessed—men choosing the hard path…
➡️ the path of growth
➡️ the path of accountability
➡️ the path of real transformation

✨ And this is just the beginning.

We’re excited to share that Crossties Leesville has officially transitioned to Set Free – Inside Out! 🙌

With the support and foundation of Freedom Ministries–Crossties, we’ve stepped into a new season with a new name, renewed vision, and the same heart for recovery and transformation.

✨ What is our vision?
We envision a parish where every person trapped in addiction or incarceration discovers hope and a path to lasting freedom — where lives are restored, families are rebuilt, and communities are strengthened from the inside out.

📌 What is our mission?
Set Free – Inside Out is dedicated to breaking the cycle of addiction and incarceration. We provide faith-driven recovery programs through three pathways:
• Inside Out Recovery Program inside the Vernon Parish Jail for men and women
• Intervention Assistance for individuals and families in addiction-related crisis
• Community Support Group for anyone seeking support on their recovery journey

Thank you for walking with us through this transition. We’re just getting started — and the best is yet to come! 🙌
