This week we started a new series called "Is That In the Bible?" looking at scenes from the the Chosen. Through Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well, we uncover a moment that was anything but ordinary and what it reveals about the kind of King Jesus truly is. If you've ever felt disqualified by your past, unsure of your purpose, or confused by how God works, this conversation will challenge and encourage you. Following Jesus is never business as usual—and that's exactly the point.Freedom Church exists so that you would know God, find freedom, discover your purpose and make a difference. We want to help you find freedom from anything that holds you back from all that God has planned for your life.

Join us this week for the eleventh message in our series, "Make Room," with Pastors Nathan and Mary Johnson.

Have you ever wondered why some people claim God's promises and see miracles, while others feel like nothing happens?

Join us this week for the tenth message in our series, "Make Room," with Pastor Nathan Johnson.

This powerful message from Pastor Tim Dye confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: we can be fully armored in our Christian walk yet still lack the internal power to stand in victory. Drawing from Ephesians 6, we're challenged to move beyond performative Christianity—the kind that looks good on the outside but lacks genuine spiritual vitality. The central question pierces through our religious routines: are we performing prayer or partnering with the Spirit? The armor of God—the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith—becomes useless without the Holy Spirit's empowerment. We're reminded that God never equips us externally without providing internal combustion. This isn't about condemnation but about honest self-examination. Like the church at Laodicea that Jesus called lukewarm, we risk becoming useless to the Kingdom when our faith becomes merely functional rather than transformational. The invitation here is radical: to acknowledge the dead things we keep returning to—our algorithms, our distractions, our insatiable appetites for things that never truly satisfy—and to consecrate ourselves afresh. We're called to stop wasting our Christian lives on exterior modifications and instead pursue the deep, Spirit-filled power that makes us genuinely useful in God's Kingdom.

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop | Freedom Church Los Alamos What happens when ordinary people spend time with Jesus? They become bold. They live with purpose. And they can’t stop talking about what God has done. In this message from Acts 4, we look at how the early church refused to back down, even under pressure, because they had personally experienced the power and grace of Jesus. This sermon is about faith that’s real, honest, and lived out in everyday life. If you’re curious about God, tired of religion that feels fake, or wondering if faith actually makes a difference, this message is for you. You’ll hear why God uses ordinary people, how time with Jesus changes everything, and why the church exists to help people take their next step of faith. This message was preached during Freedom Church’s 8th anniversary, celebrating all God has done and believing for what He’s still going to do.

Join us this week for a special message with Pastors Nathan and Mary Johnson.

Brad welcomes Liz Theoharis and Charon Hribar, editors of We Pray Freedom: Liturgies and Rituals from The Freedom Church of the Poor. Both guests are key leaders in the faith-based anti-poverty movement and longtime organizers with the Poor People's Campaign. Together, they discuss how liturgy and ritual can be reclaimed as acts of collective resistance, solidarity, and hope among the poor and dispossessed. The conversation weaves through Liz and Charon's personal journeys—Liz's formation in faith-driven social justice work and Charon's discovery of liberation theology growing up in a steel town—and traces how decades of grassroots organizing through the Kairos Center inspired this new book. They explore how faith traditions, particularly Christianity, can serve as public, justice-oriented practice rather than private belief, what it means to “pray with your feet,” and how ritual itself can be political. Drawing from We Pray Freedom, the guests share powerful examples: a memorial liturgy for unhoused people at New York's Potter's Field, a reimagined Las Posadas led by migrant communities, and multi-faith celebrations like Diwali and Passover that embody joy, resilience, and defiance. They also address the current “war on the poor” in the U.S.—from healthcare cuts to attacks on education—and highlight how communities continue to organize, resist, and find joy together. This episode is both a spiritual and practical conversation about how worship, art, and music can sustain movements for justice.
