Podcasts about Freedom Church

Today, we are joined by Michael White, lead pastor of Freedom Church (a fellow church in The Pillar Network). This standalone sermon is based on 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.1. The problem of pain (v16)…he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 2 Corinthians 4:14The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:52. The purpose of pain (v17)God has cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes. I cry to you for help and you do not answer me; I stand, and you only look at me. You have turned cruel to me; with the might of your hand you persecute me. Job 30:19–21I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn't know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father. John 15:15…he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” John 14:21“If, however, you are privileged enough to be taken by one of the high-ups into the magnificent electrical signal-box that lies athwart platforms 7 and 8, you will see on the longest wall a diagram of the entire track layout for five miles on either side of the station, with little glow-worm lights moving or stationary on the different tracks to show the signalmen at a glance exactly where every engine and train is. At once you will be able to look at the whole situation through the eyes of the men who control it: you will see from the diagram why it was that this train had to be signalled to a halt, and that one diverted from its normal running line, and that one parked temporarily in a siding. The why and the wherefore of all these movements becomes plain, once you can see the overall position.” - J.I. PackerEvery millisecond of your pain — from fallen nature or fallen man — every millisecond of your misery in the path of obedience is producing a peculiar glory you will get because of that suffering. - John PiperOne thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. Psalm 27:4“…to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it.” - C.S. LewisAnd we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. 2 Corinthians 3:183. The prescription for pain (v18)If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above… Colossians 3:1We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10Life Group Discussion Questions: lifechurchnc.com/standalonesermons2025Life Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.

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.

This sermon, The Dirt, reflects on Jesus' parable of the soils and calls us to examine the posture of our hearts before God. Just as the condition of the soil determines the harvest, so the state of our spirit determines how the Word of God takes root and bears fruit. Whether hardened, shallow, or choked by the cares of this world, every heart can be renewed through repentance and surrender to Christ. When we cultivate “good soil” through humility, receptivity, and obedience, God promises an abundant harvest of faith, joy, and kingdom fruitfulness.Freedom Church exists so that you would know God, find freedom, discover your purpose and make a difference.

This powerful and faith-filled message from Freedom Church emphasizes the importance of trusting God "in the middle" — the often uncertain, challenging, or overlooked seasons of life. Drawing from Habakkuk 3:2 and Caleb's bold declaration in Joshua 14:12, the message encourages believers to speak words of faith, take courageous steps of obedience, and stay connected to a strong faith community as they believe for breakthrough in the remaining months of the year. It's a passionate reminder that God's promises are still alive, and the best can still come—even now.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.

Prayer can be more than quiet reflection — it can be protest, solidarity, and a catalyst for justice. In this episode of Shifting Culture, I talk with Liz Theoharis and Charon Hribar about their new book We Pray Freedom, a collection of prayers, songs, and liturgies born out of the Freedom Church of the Poor.We explore how faith traditions can sustain movements, how ritual can become resistance, and how communities on the margins are leading us toward a more just and abundant world. From prayer in homeless encampments to liturgy at the border, this conversation invites us to see that prayer isn't escape — it's action, hope, and transformation.Rev.

Many years ago, country singer Lynn Anderson recorded a song called “Rose Garden.” Often, life does not go as planned and can be challenging. One mistake that many Christians make to believe that once you are saved, life will be perfect. The truth is, often it is not. On this edition of the program, Bob shares with you a message he preached on that topic to Freedom Church in Vero Beach, Florida. It is the second program in a series of three messages that we pray will be a blessing to you. A written transcript of this broadcast can be found at: https://truthtoponder.substack.com . Today and into Friday, Bob and his wife will be en route to their home in Virginia. Please keep their travels in your prayers.Now, do you believe in this ministry?
