Set Free - Inside Out

01/01/2026

💙 Have you noticed the name change? 💙
Yep… something new is happening!

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! 🙌

🎓 Inside Out Graduation – Vernon Parish Jail 🎓

We would like to thank Sheriff Sam Craft, Chief Calvin Turner, Warden Brad Conn, Detective Ben Burwell, and the Vernon Parish Sheriff’s Office for making this program possible and for their continued support.

Today we celebrate 16 men who have completed the Inside Out Recovery Program inside the Vernon Parish Jail.

On November 6th, 2018, I was arrested for Aggravated Second Degree Battery and False Imprisonment with a deadly weapon. At the time, I was on parole for a previous felony and out on bond for Unauthorized Entry of an Inhabited Dwelling in Vernon Parish. I was a third-time convicted felon with a prior aggravated battery conviction—and I honestly thought my life was over.

But about a month and a half later, everything changed. I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ and allowed Him to transform me from the inside out.

Today marks seven years since I went to prison—a milestone that reminds me of God’s faithfulness and mercy.

This morning, I woke up to Jeremiah 29:11 as the verse of the day:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” (NLT)

That was God’s rhema word to me in prison—His personal promise that He would one day send me home. Today, I live in that promise. I’m walking in that hope.

If you’re going through a tough season right now, be encouraged—trust God. His plans are still good. His word is still true. What He’s done for me, He can do for you.
