Across the next 7 days, we will have 157 graduates in the Dixon Correctional Center graduate in one of the 5 classes offered in our Transformational Rhythms Program.
Here is another post from Brian recalling what it was like when he graduated his first Foundations For Life class back in 2017

Foundation for Life (FFL) Part one. What makes FFL very effective is the set up. The course runs for sixteen weeks and the participants meet once a week for 2½ hours a day. On the first day of clas…Today at Stateville Correctional Center (maximum security prison) we had our first Foundations For Life graduating class. We handed out custom certificates containing each student's personal Mission Statement and Legacy Statement. Stateville was so impressed with the transformation they witness in our students, they asked us to double the number of classes we offer for the next term. #freedomfromwithin
Hallelujah! God is certainly at work among these brothers in Christ!
Yay God!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Amen!!!
This was written from one of our students who completed our Transformational Rhythms program we teach in prison. Note, Brian completed our program in May 2019 and was a top award winner in our last Shark Tank Event.

I began my journey through the Transformational Rhythms program in early 2017. I learned about it from a couple of guys I’ve been tight with while traveling through the Illinois prison system…YES!
Amen!!! Praise God!!!
Praise God
Feed My Starving Children brought their mobile pack semi to the Sheridan Correctional Center today where the prisoners packed enough food for 357 children for an entire year.
We were there helping too, but the best part was seeing the guys grinning ear to ear as they began to realize the huge impact they were making in these kids lives.
Tonight we will go back to the prison for our weekly Celebrate Recovery program. We are looking forward to a wonderful night filled with testimonies about the difference this event made in their life. #freedomfromwithin

Full morning at Dixon Prison, now getting a little RnR at Cup of Cold Water Ministries on our way to Sheridan Correctional Center. We will be helping pack food with the inmates in the Sheridan Prison for "Feed My Starving Children" #freedomfromwithinWhat a wonderful way to involve these men in ministry! When we give our hearts to God, we can all share God's love, no matter what our last may have been.
Wait? When we’re you at pine ridge?!

Real talent is everywhere in Prison. Some have discovered theirs and others still searching.

If we were allowed to take pictures inside the Stateville prison today, you would have seen 100's of men in blue shirts singing and worshiping the Lord during the Unspoken concert. Trust us, it was a beautiful sight to be seen.
Hope to see everyone tonight at 7 PM at the Promenade outdoor mall in Bolingbrook to hear a free concert by the band Unspoken sponsored by WBGL radio. #freedomfromwithin #WBGL #unspoken

Thank you for sharing that image. Thank you for serving the Lord in the prisons. 💝
After more than two years, Freedom From Within has been approved to offer our Foundations For Life class in the Sheridan Correctional Center. Freedom From Within now invests in over 400 student inmates per week across the three northernmost prisons in Illinois.
Today was the first class. The guys are pumped and ready for real transformation in preparation for the good things God planned for them long ago (Eph 2:10). Please join us in prayer for these guys.

Best quote from the GLS at the Danville Correctional Center was from a prisoner who said, "I am getting out next year and I am determined to 'Bend the Curve' to stay home with my family and make a difference in my community."

Wow!
Day 1 of the Global Leadership Summit (GLS) with 280 prisoners in the Danville Correctional Center attending. This is our 4th year here facilitating the breakout sessions. Each year we witness guys inspired and eager to share what they have learned and how it will help them with their family and future. So many great stories and it's just the first day. #freedomfromwithin #GLS19
I was at a site watching it too. It’s so inspiring to know it’s being watched all over the world and even in prison! God bless you for the leadership you provide.
Love this!!
Amen Amen Amen!!! Praise God for what He is doing through you guys and your ministry!!!
Amazing first day of teachings....
Thought of you a lot today!

Launched 5 new classes this week at Dixon Correctional Center as part of our Transformational Rhythms program. So why would over 175 prisoners become students in our classes for the next 16 weeks? Here are some of their responses we collected the past couple of days when asked, "Why do you want to be part of this program?"
- To refresh my life over again
- Seeking major changes in my life and others said I will learn how to do it in this class
- Find who I am and how I can be productive in the free world
- Striving to be a better me through a new character and be a better man for my family
- I just don't know how to be better but I really wanna wanna learn how and apply it in my new life outside these walls.
- Plus 170 other students.
Thank you to all our supporters. Your belief in these men inspires stronger families leading to stronger communities everywhere. To partner with us, check out our website at www.freedomfromwithin.org #freedomfromwithin
Love you guys! ❤
