Podcasts about freedom in christ

Dr. Michael Brown sits down with Zaire Willis and Reginald Robinson, co-authors of Born Gay, Born Again, as they share raw stories of childhood labeling, abuse, living double lives, and the long road to freedom in Christ. You'll hear how discipleship, brotherhood, and putting God's Word before shame changed everything—and why freedom isn't the absence of temptation, but the power to say no. If you've wondered whether change is possible, this conversation will give you hope and practical next steps. ~~~FRONTL|NE Newsletter: https://thelineoffire.org/newsletterDonate: https://thelineoffire.org/donate-one-timeX: https://twitter.com/DrMichaelLBrownYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LFTVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmichaelbrownFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ASKDrBrownWebsite: https://thelineoffire.orgRadio Broadcast from The Line of Fire Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jesus offers us true rest from our burdens. --Pastor Tim Rice with Mikey Bunnell, speaking at Christian Fellowship Church in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota on 7-19-2026.

How many times should we forgive someone who has wronged us? In this message, Pastor Karl explores Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 18:21–35, revealing that forgiveness is not about keeping score—it's about reflecting the incredible mercy we've received from God.Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Pastor Karl explains the immeasurable debt of sin that Christ has forgiven and why that forgiveness transforms the way we respond to those who hurt us. Discover the difference between forgiveness and enabling harmful behavior, why forgiveness is central to life in God's Kingdom, and how releasing others from their debt brings freedom to our own hearts.Whether you're wrestling with past wounds, strained relationships, or the challenge of extending grace, this message offers biblical truth and practical encouragement to help you walk in the freedom Christ has made possible.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Teaching from 1 Timothy 1:12–20, Chrissy Cole examines how the gospel personally transformed Paul and how it should continue transforming us. When God's grace grips us, His mercy humbles us, and His goodness moves us to worship, we can stop living from guilt and self-effort and begin serving, growing, and sharing our testimony from the overflow of His grace.

Spring Lake Church – Downtown CampusSermon: Conviction & GraceTeacher: Adam JacksonPassages: Proverbs 5:22-23, James 1:14-15, 2 Corinthians 7:10, Romans 6:14, Romans 8:6, Galatians 5:1, 1 John 1:9In “Conviction & Grace,” we explore how God uses conviction and grace to lead us from sin to freedom. Through passages including Proverbs 5, James 1, 2 Corinthians 7, 1 John 1, Romans 6 and 8, and Galatians 5, we see that sin is deadly, conviction is protective, grace is restorative, and freedom in Christ is transformative. This message reminds us that repentance leads to renewal and that true freedom is found in walking by the Spirit.springlakechurch.org | springlakechurch.org/give | springlakechurch.org/prayer

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things Jesus asks us to do. When someone has deeply hurt us, letting go can feel impossible. But what if forgiveness isn't about pretending it never happened, but about finding freedom for your own heart?In this message, Pastor Phil walks through Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant and reminds us that we've been forgiven more than we could ever repay. As we receive God's grace, we're invited to extend that same grace to others, not because it's easy, but because it's how we experience true freedom.Send us Fan Mail

1 . The Subtle Slavery of Sin2. The Life of Liberty in Jesus

Lutherans promote and even exhort every Christian to make use of private confession and absolution. The Concordians opposed mandatory confession but urged every Christian, pastors and laity alike, to use their freedom in Christ to receive Christ's free forgiveness. There are two kinds of confession common among Christians: confession to the Lord and confession to the neighbor, as expressed in the Lord's Prayer. Yet the Church calls pastors to exercise the Office of the Keys by offering private, confidential confession, so that all who come in faith may receive a clear conscience in Christ.  Rev. Ben Meyer, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Caledonia, MI, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to begin a study of private confession. To learn more about St. Paul Lutheran Church, visit stpaulcaledonia.org. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org. Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District, and guest LCMS pastors. Join us as these Christ-confessing Concordians read through and discuss our Lutheran doctrine in the Book of Concord in order to gain a deeper understanding of our Lutheran faith and practical application for our vocations.

This is probably the worst idea I have ever had. Lol. Mixing a Double Double Burger from In N Out w/ Galatians 5. I definitely had message remorse (similar to buyer's remorse). It is a great lesson, though, in seeing the whole picture of how the fruit of the Spirit comes about. It takes the whole chapter of Chapter 5 to make it work. Just a burger takes several parts to make the whole. Well, listen to it, and maybe you will learn something. The something will be powerful if you apply it.

True freedom in Christ is where your heart is open and receptive to truth from God's Word and directed by His Spirit to your spirit, soul, mind, emotions, will (decision maker), and your body. You receive it by submitting to it.

Freedom is one of the greatest gifts Christ has given to believers, yet many Christians misunderstand what that freedom means. Some believe they must earn God's favor through religious works, while others think grace gives them permission to live however they choose. Neither is the Gospel. In this episode of ScriptureLinks Daily Dose of Inspiration, we continue our No Other Gospel series by exploring what true freedom in Christ looks like. Through Galatians, Romans, and 1 Peter, we'll see that Jesus has set us free from the penalty and power of sin—not so we can return to slavery, but so we can live holy lives that glorify Him.

William F. Buckley once observed, “The most important intellectual enterprise is the distinction between right and wrong.” In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that compromise with the world's view of sin can quickly dull our sensitivity to God's Truth. Our emotions are unreliable guides. When we build decisions, relationships, or moral convictions on feelings alone, we become confused and miserable. This is especially true in close relationships, including marriage, where we must learn to live from the perspective of what is true, right, and pleasing to God. Dr. Youssef points to James 4, where Scripture exposes the root of fights and quarrels: desires battling within us, selfish motives, coveting, and prayer aimed at personal pleasure rather than God's will. Genuine happiness does not come from forcing our own way or avoiding God's plan. It comes through obedience, surrender, and humble submission. When God is involved, submission is not bondage—it is freedom. A life submitted to Jesus experiences lasting joy, restored relationships, and the liberating peace of walking in His will each day. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

In this message, Samuel Goulet teaches on the spiritual reality that everyone lives under a “yoke”—a guiding force that shapes our pace, direction, and responses—and invites listeners to recognize whether they are being driven by fear, striving, shame, legalism, anger, or the freedom of Jesus. He contrasts the crushing yokes of the world with Christ's easy and light yoke, emphasizing that true freedom comes through surrender, the work of the Holy Spirit, and learning to walk in step with Jesus. This episode encourages believers to cry out to God, receive His forgiveness, reject old patterns of bondage, and live from the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, and freedom.

In Part 2 of this series, Samuel Goulet continues the conversation on yokes by exploring how chains, cycles, and unhealthy patterns are broken through full surrender to Jesus. He teaches that the fruit of our lives reveals what we are submitted to, challenging listeners to move beyond surface-level faith and pursue true heart transformation through obedience, prayer, and fasting. With practical insight into how habits are formed and renewed, Samuel encourages believers to exchange control for trust, cry out to God for breakthrough, and allow Him to reshape their minds, families, and daily lives.

Walking in the Spirit isn't about perfection; it's about letting Jesus have possession of your heart and your everyday decisions. In this message from Galatians 5:16–26, Pastor Phil Hopper explains how believers live with two natures, the flesh and the Spirit, and how every choice we make feeds one or the other.  You'll see the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit, and how God's design is for His Spirit to rule your soul and body so you can live a life that is holy, healthy, and happy. This episode will challenge you to crucify the flesh, walk in step with the Spirit, and experience the freedom that comes from a relationship with Jesus, not religious lists.    Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels   Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2   Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/ Watch More Sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/   Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES Galatians 5:1-5, Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Galatians 5:13, For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Message Summary Pastor Bryan Hudson teaches that freedom in Christ is the highest and most essential form of freedom. While civil, constitutional, and personal freedoms are important, the freedom Jesus provides transforms the heart and becomes the foundation for seeking freedom in every area of life. Using Galatians 5:1, Pastor Hudson emphasizes three instructions: stand fast, do not become entangled, and avoid yokes of bondage. To stand fast means to remain firmly committed to Christ, resist pressure and deception, and refuse to be moved from the liberty God has provided. The enemy cannot forcibly separate believers from God, but he attempts to persuade them to make choices that move them away from God's will. Believers must also guard against becoming entangled again in sin, unhealthy relationships, confusing situations, human opinions, or religious practices that replace faith in Christ. Freedom must be protected by recognizing potential entanglements before they become controlling. A yoke of bondage is anything that restrains, controls, or places an unhealthy obligation upon a person. Everyone is joined to some type of yoke, so the important question is what—or who—is in the yoke with us. Jesus invites believers to take His yoke upon themselves and learn from Him. When we are properly joined with Christ, we can more easily recognize what does not belong in our lives. Pastor Hudson also warns against depending on religious performance, misleading prophecy, impatience, or human efforts to accomplish what God has promised. Abraham's decision to produce Ishmael rather than patiently waiting for Isaac illustrates the consequences of departing from God's plan. Freedom in Christ is not only for personal benefit. Galatians 5:13 teaches that believers are called to use their liberty to serve others through love. True freedom moves people beyond their comfort zones to love their neighbors, minister to strangers, oppose oppression, and help others experience freedom. The message concludes with the declaration that believers are children of promise. Even when there is no visible evidence, God remains faithful to His Word. Therefore, believers must stand fast, remain yoked with Jesus, thrive on God's promises, and share the freedom they have received with others. Central message: Whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Our responsibility is to continue walking in that freedom, guard against bondage, remain faithful to God's promises, and use our liberty to love and serve others.

People are watching. Your life that is free from bondage and reflects a heart surrendered to Jesus could be the hope someone needs to see to begin their own journey of discovering freedom in Christ. 2 Corinthians 7-10

The believers at Corinth believe that since they have decided to follow Jesus and he has given them freedom from the bondage of sin, they can do whatever they want. In their culture, just like ours, temptation is all around them, everywhere they go. Temples with prostitutes are seen from any direction, meat sacrificed to idols is being sold in restaurants and marketplaces, and with their freedom they have in Jesus, they tend to give into temptations and sin. Paul says, “Yes, you have freedom in Christ, but not all freedoms are beneficial. The King James Version says they are not all expedient and edifying. Yes, we have been set free from sin by Jesus, but there are other people to think about, and this is what Paul is saying. Don't let your freedom cause others to sin!

Celebrate true freedom this week as we dive into a powerful, line-by-line study of 1 John Chapter 1. It is easy to feel close to God on Sunday morning, but what happens when Monday rolls around and the daily pressures of life take over? In this message, Pastor Jared breaks down a vital spiritual habit and principle that allows us to move past Sunday-only faith and live in daily, experiential freedom. By exploring the deep connection the Apostle John had with Jesus, we discover that Jesus is a real person who actively invites every single one of us into Koinonia—a deep, 24/7 shared partnership and fellowship. But walking in this light requires radical honesty. God does not demand our perfection; He requires our honesty. Learn what it truly means to step out of the darkness of hiding, how to rightly confess your struggles before God and trusted people, and how to receive the ultimate healing care of the Great Physician.

As we celebrated independence day weekend and reflected on the freedom that many men and women gave their lives for, Anthony reminded us of the ultimate freedom that was bought for us by the blood of Jesus. In Him we have freedom from sin, guilt, shame, and death. He paid the ultimate price so we can be free and have eternal life in Him.

This podcast is a continuation of the teachings from God's word by Pastor John Donnerberg.

This week, Benny and Janice from El Pozo de Vida share how true freedom in Christ is available to everyone and is strengthened through community. Drawing from John 8 and James 1, they explore how pain can become a platform for growth and how God develops character through every season.

Have you ever spent years trying to earn someone's love or approval?Maybe it was a parent. Maybe it was a spouse. Maybe it was a coach, teacher, or boss. You kept thinking: "Maybe this time...", "Maybe this accomplishment", "Maybe this conversation", or "Maybe this success" would finally be enough.Leah knew that feeling.In Genesis 29:31-35, Leah spends years hoping Jacob will finally notice her, love her, and choose her. But what happens when the person whose approval you've been chasing never changes?Pastor Jason explores one of the most heartbreaking stories in Genesis and reveals the freedom that comes when we stop building our identity on someone else's acceptance and discover the love God has already given us through Jesus Christ.If you've ever struggled with rejection, people-pleasing, emotional neglect, or the exhausting pursuit of approval, this message is for you.The greatest freedom isn't found when someone finally gives you the love you've been chasing; it's found when you realize God already loves you.  Send us Fan MailLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Most people think freedom means doing whatever you want. But what if that's exactly what keeps you stuck?In Galatians 5, the Apostle Paul writes to a group of churches that had already encountered the gospel — and were drifting away from it. Sound familiar? The freedoms they were chasing — self-sufficiency, religious performance, personal desire — were quietly becoming the very things that enslaved them.Pastor Woody unpacks three movements of true freedom found in Christ: freedom from ourselves, freedom in the sacrifice of Jesus, and freedom to serve others. Drawing from Galatians 2, 3, and 5, this message reframes what liberation actually looks like — not a life with no limits, but a life no longer ruled by the wrong things.If you've ever wondered why the freedom you're chasing never quite delivers — this one's worth your time.Scripture: Galatians 2:20, 3:1, 5:1, 5:7–8, 5:13–14, 5:19–25, John 8:31–32Resources: John Mark ComerFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord, and their sacrifices shall not please him. It shall be like mourners' bread to them; all who eat of it shall be defiled; for their bread shall be for their hunger only; it shall not come to the house of the Lord. — Hosea 9:3-4 Not all freedom is real freedom. Israel believed they were moving forward, but God says, "They shall return to Egypt." In other words, they were heading back into the slavery that God had delivered them from. What looked like progression was actually regression. That is how sin works. It feels like freedom at first, but over time, it enslaves. What starts as a choice becomes a habit, and what becomes a habit slowly turns into dependence. In the end, what felt like freedom becomes bondage. And it was because of their abuse of freedom that God says their religious practices and sacrifices would no longer please Him. Their connection with God was gone. While God had not moved, they had drifted into their own version of "freedom." You know this drift into freedom. You know it just like me. You go through the motions, but something feels off. You show up to church, but there is no sense of closeness anymore. You try, but it feels pointless. And here's the warning in these moments: The personal freedom you enjoy is leading you back into slavery. But here is the hope: you do not have to continue down that path. You can give up these "freedoms" for freedom in Christ. Turn now, before personal freedom hardens, before it worsens, before it begins to control you. Real freedom is not found in doing whatever you want. Real freedom is found with God, who provides ultimate freedom—freedom from sin. DO THIS: Identify one "freedom" in your life that may actually be forming a habit you do not want, and bring it honestly before God today. ASK THIS: What feels free but may be controlling me? Where have I drifted from God? What step can I take today to turn back? PRAY THIS: God, show me where I have mistaken bondage for freedom. Lead me back to you and into what is truly life. Amen. PLAY THIS: "No Longer Slaves"

Freedom in Christ is a gift you can't afford to waste. In this message from Galatians 5:13–15, Pastor Chad Glover shows how our liberties in Jesus are meant to lead us to love God and serve others, not indulge the flesh. You'll learn the call of liberty—Jesus sets captives free from sin, shame, and fear—and the danger of corrupting that liberty by taking grace for granted. The sermon walks you through heart-check questions to help you navigate your liberties in Christ.  Discover how true freedom culminates in one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself,” and how to use your liberty to build others up instead of causing them to stumble.    Connect with us on Social Media ↴ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abundantlifels/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abundantlifels Listen to The Well Podcast ⤵ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wadnywAMEK7c0E1qatMoY?si=SjH6Ko7VR3OoHrRy1yYLlQ&nd=1&dlsi=395ae55d95ac4b11 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well/id1233267223 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLR50sV854C2hogfBmv7YogvCjiNYLz9a2   Find Your Next Step: https://alife.livingproof.co/ Watch More Sermons: https://abundant-life.com/sermons/   Do you want to see your life changed by Jesus?

In this sermon, Pastor Kyle Turner teaches that true freedom in Christ is not pretending we have it all together, but bringing our struggles into the light and surrendering them to Jesus. He encourages believers to reject both rebellion and religious performance, embrace grace, invite trusted people into the process, and live fully free through the transforming power of Christ.

In this sermon Pastor Adam Coleman kicks of our Freedom Sermon Series by exploring our "Freedom From The Enemy". Freedom in Christ is deeper than changed circumstances—it is the confidence that Jesus has already won the battle we could never win on our own. Though we still face spiritual opposition, we do not face it alone or without hope. Because of Christ's victory, we can live with courage, stand with confidence, and walk in the freedom He has already secured for us.

This week, as we celebrate America's 250th Birthday, we celebrate our freedom as Americans, but most importantly, our freedom in Christ.

This special Fourth of July message explores the deeper meaning of freedom and how the words of Jesus offer a kind of freedom that goes far beyond politics or circumstances. Centered in John 8, we're reminded that “when the Son sets you free, you are free indeed,” and that true freedom begins when we trust and surrender to Him. Through worship, stories of service, and moments of gratitude, we reflect on both the freedoms we enjoy as a nation and the lasting freedom we find in Christ. We're invited to be good stewards of grace—living boldly, loving generously, and sharing hope with others. As we celebrate, we're reminded that God is not finished with us and is still working to bring renewal and revival. Speaker: Greg Holder

The world offers us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yet following the world's way brings us death, slavery to sin, and despair. The Bible tells us the truth about following Jesus as the only way to have an abundant life, true freedom from slavery to sin, and joy the exceeds all the sorrows of this world.

Have you ever become so familiar with your struggle that it started to shape your identity? In episode three of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by Christine Caine as she opens John 5 and unpacks the story of the man who sat beside the Pool of Bethesda waiting for his breakthrough. Through Scripture and personal testimony, Christine challenges us to consider the ways we've become comfortable sitting in disappointment, bitterness, fear, shame, or unbelief—and reminds us that Jesus is still asking, "Do you want to be healed?" Healing isn't just about leaving something behind; it's about stepping into the purpose God has prepared for us. Whether you're carrying wounds from your past, struggling to trust God with your future, or simply feeling stuck in your faith, this message will encourage you to get up, pick up your mat, and walk in the freedom Jesus has already made available. If you're ready to stop being defined by your issue and start living from your identity as a daughter of God, this episode is for you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
