    4 | Tip the Scales in Your Favor

    Prison re-entry (in fact, any kind of personal development) is hard if you think you need to be perfect in order to make progress. But that’s not how it works. We don’t need to be “perfect.” We just need to “tip the scales” in a positive direction. 🤷‍♂️ In time, the weight accumulates, momentum grows, and we accelerate our progress forward… 📈   Here are a few things that “tip the scales” in your favor— (And, pro tip: the addiction issue = THE magic bullet that takes many men out. Pay attention to it. Deal with it.) 💥💥💥 _____________ For more info: Call 205-780-6211 or visit the following links.

    3 | Need to Get Dunked On?

    Sometimes people forget that “the free world isn’t free.” That is, you must literally consistently choose your freedom— and content for it. Take the Children of Israel, for instance… … they found themselves free from slavery yet complained— and relished how great their days of slavery were… Um. No. ❌   The “good ole’ days” weren’t so good. In fact, they were the environment we prayed to get out of… 👇 Such is the case with prison re-entry. It’s easy, when you get out, to forget how good you actually have it.
And to forget how the hassles you handle now ARE THE VERY things you prayed for in the past. 💥 In this episode we talk about four more barriers to re-entry: 5️⃣ 6️⃣ The Sentence = creates a record that eliminates some jobs and future opportunities 7️⃣ Addiction = = dealing with the root issues, lest the bad fruits continue returning and creating more chaos— is the #1 reason for re-offending 8️⃣ Change = the shift to the “free world” is abrupt— especially with the pace of change in society— you return to a different world than than one you left   _____________ For more info: Call 205-780-6211 or visit the following links.

    2 | Barriers to Re-entry

    Prisoners face specific barriers when they transition into the “free world.” We mention them NOW, because… 1️⃣ The recidivism rate is astronomically high (i.e.., 65-70% return within 5 years), and 2️⃣ The barriers are all predictable— if we know what they are, we can make a plan to navigate them.  So, let’s break them down. Here are a few…  #1, Expectations = felons expect one thing from the family & friends while they expect another… leading to conflict ⛺️ #2, Housing = = must have a “safe place to land” away from the hurts, habits, and hangups of the past 🚗 #3, Transportation = = vital to getting to and from work, home, probation officers, and more 🪪 #4, Identification = = required to begin work, but most must “rebuild” their documentation from scratch   Note: you can navigate ALL of these… … but it’s helpful to know what they are, so you can make an intentional plan and begin living by design instead of default.    _____________ For more info: Call 205-780-6211 or visit the following links.

    1 | A Different World

    Prison re-entry is a task like no other… … because you deal with imperfect people in an imperfect society who navigate their way from one imperfect world to a completely different imperfect world. 👇 Or, to say it another way: the “free world” isn’t like life behind bars. There are different rules, different expectations, and different ways of navigating each… … and without a support system in place, 65-70% of previously incarcerated persons find their way back to prison within 5 years of release. 😳 Enter Shepherds Fold. We “do” transformation from “the inside-out.” Because re-entry is FAR MORE than just a change of address from inside the prison to outside in the free world… … it requires an internal personal shift. 💥 Let’s talk about it.   ______________ For more info: Call 205-780-6211 or visit the following links.
