Addiction doesn't sleep. It doesn't take days off or clock out at 5pm every day.

Our assistant director Robert Encinas is gearing up to head to the Greyhound station in Tulsa.

A man reached out a few days ago. All the way from California.. he's ready for a change and finally made the call.

As soon as he did, Reckless got to work. We bought a ticket and the route was set.

He's coming off of a LONG bus ride. He got on the bus Saturday. And for those of you who may not realize, today is Tuesday. He had an extremely long layover in LA with multiple delays and mechanical issues, but he stuck it out.

The devil gave this man EVERY OPPORTUNITY to change his mind... BUT God's will prevailed.

Robert was up early this morning, and he will be at the bus station when the bus arrives at 11:30.

He doesn't do it reluctantly, he's even leaving early to make sure he's there before the bus arrives!

We love this job! We are honored to get to play a part in someone's recovery. We show up, time and time again.

And just to be clear, we don't share these stories to pat ourselves on the back or get a bunch of attaboys. That's not what this is about. We share them because people need to understand the battles these men are fighting and just how big of a step it is for someone to leave everything they've ever known behind for a chance at a different life.

These men are the ones doing the hard part. They're the ones having to face their past, fight their demons, and make the decision every single day to do something different. We're just blessed that God allows us to be a small part of their journey.

The attention doesn't belong on us. It belongs on what God is doing in the lives of these men!

Two carts full. Twice a week.

That's what it takes to keep the men of our Flight School Program fed!

It may just look like a couple of grocery carts, but to us, it's so much more. It's another opportunity to serve, to meet a need, and to make sure the men who have entrusted us with a season of their lives have one less thing to worry about as they focus on rebuilding.

Recovery is about more than just getting clean. It's about creating an environment where men can grow in their faith, find stability, build relationships, and work toward a better future.

And sometimes, serving looks a whole lot like pushing two overflowing grocery carts through Walmart!

We're grateful that God has given us the opportunity to serve these men, even in the simplest ways. It's a privilege we don't take lightly.

Serve one another humbly in love.
Galatians 5:13

One of the most encouraging things I get to see at Reckless happens before the day even really gets started.

Lately, when I show up to take the guys to work, I walk in and see their lunchboxes sitting on the bar, ready for the day. But what encourages me the most is what I see sitting next to those lunchboxes. OPEN BIBLES

These men are getting up in the morning, getting ready to go to work, and making the choice to spend time in God's Word before they head out into the world.

That may seem like a small thing to some people, but to me, it's HUGE.

Because for many of these men, there was a time when their mornings looked a whole lot different. Their first thoughts weren't about God, their future, or becoming better men. Addiction had control of their lives.

But today, they're choosing something different. They're choosing to seek God before anything else.

That's what recovery is about. It's not just about putting down drugs or alcohol. It's about building a completely new way of life, with Jesus at the center of it.

Nobody is standing over these men making them open their Bibles in the morning. They're doing it because they're beginning to understand where their strength comes from.

And I can't tell you how encouraging that is to witness!!

We don't always see the changes happening in someone's heart. But sometimes, you walk into a room, see a few open Bibles sitting next to some lunchboxes, and realize that God is doing something pretty incredible.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness..." Matthew 6:33

That's what it's all about.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE WONT LIKE YOU AND THATS OKAY

One of the hardest lessons to learn in life is that you can be doing everything you're supposed to be doing, and still not have everyone's approval.

You can be working hard to become a better person. You can be making the right decisions, treating people with kindness, helping others, and doing your best to walk with God. And even then, there will be people who don't see you the way you wish they would.

And that's okay.

In recovery, we spend a lot of time learning how to change the things about ourselves that need changing. But we also have to learn that not everything is ours to fix.

We can't control what others think about us. We can't make everyone understand our hearts or our intentions. And we certainly can't spend our lives chasing the approval of everybody around us.

What we CAN do is continue to love people, treat them with respect, stay humble, and keep our eyes on Jesus...

Even Jesus, who lived a perfect life, wasn't accepted by everyone. In fact they killed him.

Don't let someone else's opinion of you, rob you of the peace God is building in you.

Keep doing what's right. Keep growing. Keep loving people, even when it's not returned.

At the end of the day, it's not about winning everyone's approval. It's about being faithful to the One who called us to something greater.

Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men?

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE?

Yesterday, we welcomed a new resident into the Flight School Program. But this wasn't just another guy coming from a neighboring town.

This man got on an airplane in Florida and flew all the way to Oklahoma for a chance at a new life.

Think about that for a minute.

He left behind everything familiar, traveled across the country, and showed up at our doorstep because he wants something different for his life.

That takes courage. That takes humility. And most importantly, that takes a willingness to do something different than what you've always done.

We don't know what the next 12 months will hold for this man. There will be challenges, hard days, and moments when giving up might seem easier. But he took a step in the right direction. And that step is worth celebrating.

At Reckless, we believe no man is too far gone, no past is too broken, and no distance is too great when someone is ready to fight for their life.

We're just a small recovery ministry in northeastern Oklahoma, but God continues to bring men through our doors from places we never imagined.

And we'll keep doing everything we can to help them find the freedom they're looking for.

Help us welcome our newest brother from Florida! Drop some encouragement in the comments. He's got a journey ahead of him, and we're grateful we get to be part of it!

Tonight we got to take several of the men from the Flight School Program to the Tulsa State Fair to see Ben Fuller in concert.

Ben comes from a life that looks a lot like ours... broken, addicted, hurting, and without much hope. But Jesus stepped into his story and changed everything.

That’s a story a lot of us understand.

Nights like tonight are important. Recovery isn’t supposed to just be about staying away from drugs and alcohol. It’s about learning how to LIVE again. It’s learning that you can laugh, make memories, go to a concert, walk around the fair, eat way too much food and genuinely enjoy yourself completely sober.

Sometimes we forget that when a man comes into recovery, he’s not just giving something up. He’s learning an entirely new way to live.

And apparently for Cody, one of our newer guys, that new life needed to include a giant turkey leg LOL

He told us the one thing he wanted at the fair was a turkey leg, so naturally we had to make that happen.

It might seem like a small thing, but these are the moments we love seeing... guys smiling, laughing, experiencing something good and realizing, maybe for the first time in a long time, that there is still a whole lot of joy left in life.

Sobriety doesn’t mean the fun is over.

Sometimes it means you’re finally present enough to enjoy it.

We’re grateful for nights like this, grateful for these men, and most of all grateful for a God who is still in the business of taking broken stories and making something new out of them.
