Embracing the Light — A New Season of Purpose

Today marks the first day of summer. There’s something gentle and powerful about that. The sun lingers a little longer. The world feels a bit warmer. And maybe, just maybe, it gives us a moment to breathe—to pause, reflect, and ask what really matters. I usually write earlier in the month, but life has a way of rearranging plans. Still, I believe in divine timing. I believe in quiet Saturdays and long days filled with hope. I believe in second chances—not just for people like me, but for anyone who's ever felt like they missed their moment. Today is a reminder that your moment is still here. A few summers ago, I was behind bars, uncertain of the future. Now, I’m walking in freedom, trying to build something beautiful out of everything I’ve been through. Each nonprofit I’m working on—whether it's about second chances, protecting young hearts, helping communities prepare, or honoring those we’ve lost—has grown from pain, purpose, and deep love. If this season finds you in a dark ...

From the Inside Out: Why I’m Telling My Story

If someone had told me a few years ago that I’d be building nonprofits, writing blog posts, and trying to make a difference in the world, I probably would’ve laughed—or maybe just stared in silence, too tired to hope. My name is Rylee Piercefield, and this is more than just a blog. It’s a space for truth, for healing, and for rebuilding. For six years, I lived inside a system that was never meant to protect me or people like me. I saw lives destroyed by injustice. I watched innocent men suffer. I made mistakes—some small, some life-altering—and I’ve taken time to understand who I was, and more importantly, who I want to be. I’ve also seen beauty and resilience in places no one expects to find it. This blog is about all of that. It’s for people who want to see behind the headlines. For those who care about justice. For anyone who’s ever fallen and wondered if they could stand again. You’ll read about the people I met inside—like Auston, Skylar, Devin—and the foundations I’ve built to ho...

How to Understand the Bible / The Key to Understanding the Bible

The Bible is God's Word to mankind. It is a book of SPIRITUAL TRUTH, so it must be understood through the Holy Spirit that indwells each believer. It greatly helps if the student has a genuine interest in the Word, is willing to study, and is willing to obey what He learns. The Bible should be taken literally whenever it makes sense to do so. The real KEY is to rightly divide the Word of Truth, as in 2nd Timothy 2:15 Let's memorize this verse: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, A workman that needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly dividing the word of truth." Most people divide the Bible into Old and New Testament. This is not God's design. The plan that God laid out for dividing the Bible is found in Ephesians 2. 1. How does God say we should divide the Bible? TIME PAST  - Ephesians 2:11 Has to do with Israel and the EARTH, Distinction was made between the Jew and the Gentile, between the Circumcision and the Uncircumcision. Gentiles were without Christ an...
