DID YOU KNOW THAT LIFE IS INSIDE?

In August 2017, Judson College launched its first men’s cohort and began offering classes on-site at Nash Correctional Institution. The Field Minister Program was designed as a pastoral and counseling training ground specifically for incarcerated men to serve. Although the Program's curriculum is both distinctly and decisively grounded in the Christian worldview, application is open to incarcerated people of all faiths.

Graduates of the program are employed by the State of North Carolina and deployed in teams to other prisons throughout the state to do the work of a Field Minister.

I am thankful to be serving as a professor in this program at Nash. I have had the honor to teach a class this semester of 12 inmates. Some of these are serving life sentences for murder. We meet together in a classroom setting. The class I am teaching this semester is counseling addiction and trauma. These men are placing their faith in Christ, seeking truth, and desiring to be used by God inside our prisons. LIFE Ministries has a video curriculum on their tablets. Yes, LIFE is inside our prison walls as I personally enter through the doors every Wednesday and teach biblical truth. LIFE is inside Nash Correctional and other prisons across our country through our video curriculum on their tablets.

Would you pray for this ministry? Would you prayerfully consider joining us as a financial partner?

LIFE—Living In Freedom Everyday—is more than the name of a ministry; it is a calling, a movement, a mission that changes lives.

At LIFE Ministries, we believe something powerful:
No one is too broken for God to restore, and no story is too dark for grace to rewrite.

Addiction tells people they are trapped.
Jesus tells them they are free.

Addiction whispers, “You’re alone.”
This ministry shouts, “You belong here.”

Addiction chains the mind, the body, and the spirit.
But the Gospel promises, “Whom the Son sets free is free indeed” (John 8:36).

Every chapter leader, every pastor, every teacher, every LIFE mentor, each and every supporter of this addiction recovery ministry are courageous servants who are touching lives for the kingdom of God. That is what LIFE Ministries is about: seeing heaven touch earth in the most unexpected places—chapter meetings, rehab centers, small groups, midnight phone calls, tear-filled conversations, and honest confessions.

And let me tell you something important:
Recovery is not a moment—it is a journey, a faith walk that God empowers us to walk through as we reach healing and transformation. We do recover! There is healing available! This walk of faith and healing from addiction is a walk that no one has to walk alone.

I want you to remember this:
You are not defined by the worst day of your life.
You are not defined by the addiction you’re fighting.
You are not defined by the labels that society has thrown on you.

You are defined by the God who made you and the Savior who redeemed you.

To those still in the struggle:
You are stronger than you think. You are worth fighting for. And we believe in you—deeply.

To the families who never stopped praying:
Your tears have not been wasted. Your hope is not in vain.

To the volunteers and leaders of LIFE Ministries:
You are the hands and feet of Christ. You are rescuing people from the edge of despair and giving them a place to rebuild their lives. Thank-you!

And to everyone listening today—if you hear nothing else, hear this: There is always hope. Always.

Not because of our strength, but because of God’s.
Not because of our perfection, but because of His power.
Not because recovery is easy, but because redemption is real.

LIFE Ministries exists for one reason:
To help people find freedom and to teach them how to live in that freedom—every single day.

Let us keep walking, keep believing, and keep showing up—together.

Because life is better in community.
Because healing happens in honest connection with God and with others.
Because freedom is possible.
And because God is still in the business of setting people free.

Thank you, and may God bless LIFE Ministries—today and for generations to come

From one of our incarcerated students:

Hello Pastor Dixon. My name is Johnathon Gonzalez. I'm reaching out to you because I came across your L.I.F.E ministries course on my edovo education app on my tablet. I'm currently incarcerated in Ottawa county jail here in Port Clinton Ohio. I have been struggling with alcoholism since I've been a teenager. It has taken over my entire life and has caused me to lose my son and my first wife. I also am on the verdge of loosing my second wife now. Alcohol has destroyed my life time after time, it causes me to act out of my behavior and turns me into a demon. I'm constantly being arrested because of domestic Violence's. I'm not a violent person until alcohol enters my bloodstream. I have surrendered my life over to the lord Jesus Christ and have accepted him as my higher power and savior. I'm so tired of being sick and tired. I want and need help. I no longer want to live in this life of darkness that I have been living. Im currently enrolled in the life ministries course and I'm finding it very helpful as well as spiritually helpful. I now have faith and beg god to keep me close and not let me stray away. As well as asking him to please grow my faith stronger. I believe in him and I want to change forever. My life is counting on it. I'm 40 years old now and I want to live a sober life and find joy in my heart. Will you please pray for me! I'm going to finish this course and it has been helping me all around thank u for creating this program and wanting to help people like me.

🎉🙏🏼 Craven County LIFE Ministries Recap! 🙏🏼🎉

​What an incredible 😁 night! We must start with a massive cheer for Wilson Brian, on his first soberversary! 🥳 1 year! That's a huge victory and a testament to God's transformative power. We are so proud and blessed to witness the work God is doing in and through you, Brian! 🕊

​🧭 Lesson: A Change of Direction (Week #14) ↩️

​This week, we dove into turning our lives around with the help of Scripture. Life isn't about perfecting the past; it's about making a U-Turn toward a brighter future. 💯 Our spiritual GPS pointed us to:

​The U-Turn: Acts 2:38 (Repentance).

​Choosing Our Master: Matthew 6:24 (You can't serve both). 🤔

​New Life, New Heart: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (What we were)

Psalm 51:1-19 (Asking God for a clean slate). 💖

​Divine Transformation: Romans 12:2 (Don't conform, be transformed). 🧠✨

​Ditch the Idols: 1 John 5:21 (Keep yourselves from idols, yes, even that ice cream!). 😉🍦

Hey, ​if this messy 🤪, magnificent, and totally supported group can make a Change of Direction ↩️ and see God ✝️ do amazing things like Brian's soberversary, you 🫵🏽 can too! We are grateful 🙌🏼 for this tribe, our LIFE Ministries family.

​Don't miss the next turn! Come join the journey next Monday, same place, same time! We can't wait to see you! 👋🏽

⏰ Ditch Daylight Saving for JESUS SAVING TIME! 🏃🏃🏽‍♀️

​Happy 😁 Monday Craven County! (& anyone close by who'd like to join us)

If the daylight saving time 🕑 shift and the start of the week have you feeling drained 🥴, you're not alone! Thankful for smart phones 📱 that automatically update, or I'd forget! 😅

​(And just so we're clear: When Paul talked about "running the race," he meant spiritually. If you see 👀 me running, you should probably start running too, because something is definitely wrong! 😂)

​While Daylight Saving only gives us one extra hour ⏳️ in the spring, Jesus 🕊 Saving Time offers eternal ✝️ value every single day and more importantly, after this life. Come invest some time in what truly matters tonight and run your race well with us!

​📅 Tonight (and every Monday) at 6:30 PM 🕖
