We’re alive in the Spirit, but are we walking in the Spirit as Paul said we should? This episode is a call back to the voice of God.Maybe we’ve underestimated our ability to hear Him, not realizing He wired us to hear His voice.Maybe we don’t think He wants to communicate that much, afraid that we’ll bother Him.Or, maybe it’s just that it’s easier to plow ahead with our own common sense. We are very uncomfortable with uncertainty, with feeling out of control. Whatever the reason, slowly over the

The false brothers said to the Christians in Galatia, "If you don't get circumcised, you won't be saved."Paul said, "If you get circumcised to be saved, you cut yourself off from Christ."The same debate is happening in the Church today. Are there things we do to help save ourselves? Or, is faith in Jesus Christ enough?What IS the real salvation issue?And what does God have to say about His sheep who have been scattered and wounded by false brothers teaching false doctrine?By the end of the episode,

Freedom, Pt. 8 Stand Your Ground I The Freeborn #25

The Freeborn Podcast ·

2025/03/13

We have been discussing one of the tensions of living in biblical freedom. Last episode, we learned in what situations and for whom love would require we sacrifice our liberties.This episode, we discuss when it is necessary, if not essential, to stand our ground and absolutely not compromise the freedom we have in Christ.Galatians gives us stunning insight about this. We learn a sober reality - there were wolves in sheep’s clothing even in the first-century church, just as there are today. Paul

Freedom involves a series of tension. One tension is knowing when to sacrifice your liberties in love for and service of others and when to stand your ground.This week, we explore when and for whom love demands we relinquish our freedom.Remember - the highest form of freedom is ironically self-sacrifice.This episode also includes a plot twist and exposes a long-standing misconception in the Church.This episode will strengthen your faith significantly and may make this Christian walk seem more

2025/02/27

Freedom is a two-sided coin.“All things are lawful” is a well-known phrase from 1 Corinthians, which represents the freedom side of the coin. But, this phrase is followed by a big ‘BUT,’ which represents the personal responsibility side.Freedom and personal responsibility go hand-in-hand. In this episode, we explore “what should follow the ‘but’” so we all remain truly free.We tease out four questions from Scripture that help us each discover the limits of freedom in our own lives. The answers to

We all have opinions. Opinions aren't bad, but, for freedom's sake, we need to know how to correctly view our own and other's opinions.In this episode, we investigate one of the most amazing chapters in the Bible (in our opinion) - Romans 14.Many of us who came from high-control, legalistic cultures often felt browbeaten, shamed, discredited, and diminished by mere opinions elevated to the level of truth.The Bible is proof - this is nothing new, but is this appropriate and necessary given the

We believe God has begun to awaken your dreams - now it’s time to act. But, what does it look like to act inside the context of freedom?It doesn’t look the way you think it will, but after we investigate the out-of-the-box ways God has moved throughout history, are you sure it's not God? This episode shows us that the walk of freedom is complex, controversial, and individual. We give a glimpse of what mature Christianity looks like, what Christianity MUST graduate to if it will victoriously meet

The Freeborn Podcast ·

2024/12/05

We are diving into mature territory now. This episode is specifically about the law of liberty, what James 1:25 calls “the perfect law.”Why the perfect law? Because perfect here means “full grown, mature, complete.” The law of liberty is the one law of Heaven that, when followed, actually fosters maturity in us. God planted dreams in your heart when you were born again. As you listen to this episode, we believe God will reawaken dreams that have been forgotten, snuffed out, or lying dormant

2024/11/27

Before you were born again, you belonged to the Kingdom of Darkness. Even though it might have felt lawless, you actually lived according to a set of laws. Romans 8:2 identifies them as sin and death.When you were born from above, you became a citizen of Heaven (Philippians 3:20), which means you now belong to another kingdom. That kingdom, just like any other kingdom or country or state, operates by a set of laws. As a citizen of this new kingdom, you are free from obligation to the old laws

2024/11/21

We have finally come to our discussion of freedom itself. This discussion is so important because freedom is the context in which God wrote your story, which means freedom is the only context in which your story can be lived. So, what is freedom exactly? How do we maintain it? How can we increase it? More importantly, how is freedom lost? In this episode, we explore two revolutions - the American Revolution and the French Revolution. One ended in yet another form of tyranny, and one ended having

The title says it all.Your eyes are now open, which means the cage door is open, but you are keeping YOURSELF in the cage now. Why are you doing that? We’ll tell you! This episode dives into five possible reasons you’re staying in legalism. They probably sound like very good, responsible, even godly reasons, but they are lies just the same. We share the wisdom and insight God gave us when we faced each of these lies. We hope it shortens the amount of time it takes you to spread your wings

In this second installment of Part 5 - Forfeiting Covenant for Legalism - we dive into the story of the Israelites on the verge of the Promised Land. Having heard of its abundance and with the promise from God that He had given them the land, we feel the jarring shock and disappointment when they refuse to enter in because of unbelief.How could they be so foolish?! And yet, we are doing the exact same thing as children of God today. God has given us superior, wonderful promises in the New

Hopefully, if you’ve listened to all of our episodes thus far, you’re convinced that legalism in the Church is not a benign issue. For those just joining us or for those who remain unconvinced, we hope these next two episodes - Forfeiting Covenant for Legalism, Parts 1 & 2 - change your mind. We hope these episodes whet your appetite for true covenant relationship with God. It is our belief we actually do not know what this looks like or what it really means, and therefore, we aren’t living

What if our normal isn’t the way God designed it?Just because it’s always been a certain way doesn’t mean it’s the way it’s supposed to be. It is often hard to see the kind of water you’ve been swimming in until someone or something yanks you out of your fishbowl. That is the purpose of this episode - to help you observe your surroundings objectively and scripturally, to finally say out loud what you’ve observed in silence for years. Legalism is tricky because its dysfunction is hidden behind

The devil is TERRIFIED of you.More specifically, he’s terrified of you the way God created you. Isaiah 54:16-17 reveals that as we fully become everything God has created us to be, we become more and more indestructible against everything he could throw at us. In fact, in the Kingdom, we must BECOME before we do. Most of Christianity has this backwards. Every freeborn believer needs to know - you have divine permission to be everything God created you to be. Legalism fundamentally rewires,

2024/09/12

This episode exposes why legalism is, on the one hand, so easy to swallow and on the other hand, in light of the Cross, why it's absurd.We believe with legalism, we are dealing with a cunning deception that is so effective it worked in a perfect world on an as-yet sinless human being. The devil was introduced in Scripture as a deceiver and damned for eternity as a deceiver. Deception is his best and favorite weapon, and it’s worked for centuries. It would be foolish to believe we are so

The Freeborn Podcast ·

2024/09/05

This is the first part of a 6-part series on legalism. Legalism is defined as the “strict, literal, or excessive conformity to the law or to a religious or moral code.” As such and as this series hopes to prove, it is directly opposed to the freedom Jesus purchased for us. Legalism is not a benign issue in the Church. This is not a mere difference of opinion on how Christians ought to live. The root of legalism, what everyone cannot see because it’s buried and hidden, is a deadly, cancerous

Don’t only prophets prophesy? Or, at least, really spiritual people? Isn’t prophecy just predicting the future? Didn’t prophecy end in the Old Testament? Or at least when the last apostle died? We address all of these questions and more on this episode. Not only is the Bible clear that all of God’s children can prophesy. It’s clear that it is imperative that every child of God prophesies because of how powerfully it builds up the Church and impacts unbelievers. On September 23, 2024, at

2024/08/22

We’re doing a spiritual check-up in this last part of our Spiritual Maturity series. How spiritually mature are you? We’re given ways to know in the Bible. Psalm 16:11 says, “You make known to me the path of life.” God isn’t playing cat and mouse with us. He makes His ways pretty clear; yet, this episode is largely about how we stay in our own way. This is both the result of spiritual immaturity and how we remain spiritual immature. This is an episode of hope and empowerment. If you listen with
