Why do we keep going back to the same chains Jesus already broke?This message is a gut check for anyone who's ever tasted freedom in Christ but still finds themselves living like they're not. Jim unpacks Galatians 5:1 and challenges us to stop rebuilding the same prison Jesus tore down. Be Free isn't just a slogan, it's a mission, a strategy, and a spiritual war cry for anyone who's done being a slave to lies, sin, and fear. It's time to drop the chains, plant your feet, and live like you've actually been set free.Jesus didn't die just to forgive you; He died to free you. And free people don't go back. This is our moment to get honest about the chains we keep picking back up and finally put them down. This isn't about being perfect, it's about standing firm in truth and grace, knowing we're just former slaves showing others where to find freedom. Before revival happens out there, it has to happen in us.

As regular listeners of the show know, Caleb and Mo (mostly Mo) never turn down something for free. Whether it's coozies in touchdown town or leftover cups and towels after the game, they take advantage of them. For the Indianapolis Colts' week 6 game vs the Arizona Cardinals, they used that mindset, which has propelled them for years, to get free tickets to the game. They're glad they did just that.Contact The Show Here!Email: 20czuver@gmail.com

What if your story of freedom was meant to set someone else free?Week one of Be Free isn't just a new series; it's a call to arms. Jim Burgen kicks off a six-week journey that's really the start of a movement: a church stepping out of comfort, out of safety, and into the front lines of spiritual battle. This message is a fire-starter, reminding us that our freedom in Christ isn't a finish line. It's a launchpad. It's about turning pain into purpose, and choosing to fight for those still enslaved by guilt, shame, addiction, fear, or abuse.This isn't a metaphor, it's a mission. From Jim's personal story of rescue to the biblical call from Galatians 5, this is an unapologetic, boots-on-the-ground invitation to stop playing defense and go to war for the hearts and futures of others. Be Free is about building spiritual outposts for the broken, the addicted, the trafficked, and the hopeless. We don't hide in a fortress; we carry freedom into enemy territory.

Have you ever wondered what truly defines your identity?Are you still living as if you're chained to the past—defined by guilt, fear, or performance—when God has called you to live as His child?Today, we dove into Galatians 4:1–7 to see how Christ takes us from being slaves to sin to being sons and daughters of God. It's not just a change of status—it's a change of identity, inheritance, and freedom.Check out this week's message: From Slaves to Sons.

Relationships can be some of the greatest blessings in life—but they can also bring some of the heaviest burdens. When we avoid honesty, take on what isn't ours, or blur the lines of responsibility, things quickly become messy, one-sided, and exhausting. In this message, Pastor Sean Sears unpacks how boundaries aren't barriers that push people away, but guardrails that make love stronger and relationships healthier.

Chef Alannah Sheehan joins Dearbhail to give us all the tasty tips on how to batch cook delicious dinners without sacrificing your Sunday to the kitchen or compromising on flavour.

Most of us have a hard time saying no. We want to help, keep others happy, or avoid disappointing people—but the result is often exhaustion, resentment, and feeling stretched too thin. So how do you know when it's right to say yes and when it's time to say no? In this message, Pastor Sean Sears shows how even Jesus said no at times—and how learning to do the same can bring peace and protect your best yes. Because every yes is also a no to something else.

Life can feel exhausting—like you're stretched too thin and carrying more than you can handle. What if the reason it feels so heavy isn't just busyness, but that you're carrying things God never asked you to carry? In this message, you'll learn how God's design for boundaries brings peace and freedom. Discover how to take ownership of what's truly yours, release the weight of what isn't, and guard your heart so you can live with clarity and margin

If God's grace could take Paul—the church's greatest persecutor—and transform him into its greatest preacher, what does that say about what His grace can do in your life, no matter your past?At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

Life comes with messy moments. There are offenses and struggles that we can't avoid. How do we stay clean? How do we continue to walk in hope, peace, and joy?

“If someone were to add even just one condition to the gospel—something you had to do, earn, or perform to be accepted by God—how long would it take before your joy in Christ turned into fear and striving?”Would you like me to give you a few alternative options too—one geared more toward personal reflection, one toward cultural pressures, and one that speaks to the church as a whole—so you can choose the best fit for your tone that Sunday?At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

How do followers of Jesus live in a place of sustained freedom and victory? How does God prepare us for the challenges of life? It begins by learning to fight back.

We all have patterns in our lives that we want to break but we can't seem to stop or change. How do Christians change? How is it different from those who don't follow Christ?

Welcome back to run4prs, the podcast where we explore the art and science of running, and help you find the perfect balance in your training. "How many days a week should I actually be running?" Now, if you've spent any time browsing running forums or listening to other podcasts, you've probably heard a lot of different answers to this question. Some say three days is enough, others swear by six or even seven. The truth is, there's no magic number. The ideal running frequency depends on a variety of factors, and that's what we're diving into today. We'll be exploring how your running experience, training goals, injury history, and even lifestyle can influence the optimal number of days to lace up your shoes. We'll also discuss the importance of listening to your body and finding a sustainable routine that works for you. Training History & Current Fitness: Are you a beginner just starting out, or a seasoned marathoner? Your current fitness level plays a big role in determining how much running your body can handle. Running Goals: Are you training for a specific race, or simply running for overall health and fitness? Your goals will influence the intensity and frequency of your runs. Injury History: Have you had any previous running-related injuries? If so, it's important to gradually increase your running volume to avoid re-injury. Lifestyle Factors: Work, family, and other commitments can all impact how much time you have for running. It's important to find a balance that fits your lifestyle. Individual Needs & Preferences: Some runners thrive on daily runs, while others prefer more rest days. Listen to your body and find what feels right for you. The Importance of Rest & Recovery: Rest days are crucial for allowing your body to repair and rebuild. Don't underestimate the power of rest in your training. Free Week of 100% custom training
