Happy #BeFreeFriday! Lets take a minute this week and have a mid-year review! “So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision – you’ll see it yet! Now that we’re on the right track, let’s stay on it.” (Philippians 3:15-16 MSG) Check out this week’s video or download the audio version on iTunes to listen while you drive!Thanks as always for listening!

Free to fly…what does that mean? And yet, we often hear how people desire to just soar with wings like eagles and feel free enough to fly instead of so weighed down by life that we can’t even hop. The problem, I think, is that we don’t really know from where or what we are flying and to where or what we hope to fly to. We fly without purpose or plan. Without direction or focus. Today we are wrapping up our series on Being Free with the idea that we can experience the kind of freedom in Christ that allows us to truly be free enough to fly. What is holding you back from flying? And do you really know what true freedom is? Thanks as always for listening! Make sure to rate and review us, as it helps more women find our podcast.

As women, we have emotional depth on a whole different level. We feel things deeply. And not only do we feel deeply, we feel multiple things at a time! We are complicated and multidimensional and our feelings reflect that! Our feelings are an important part of our faith journey and it is so important that you and I learn how to give them the thoughtfulness they deserve without allowing them to control us. This week we explore how God gives us the FREEDOM to feel, and how to do it biblically!Thanks as always for listening! Make sure to rate and review us, as it helps more women find our podcast.

Do you ever struggle with being paralyzed by fear? Or maybe you don’t get paralyzed, but fear certainly creeps in and causes Living Free to become a hard accomplishment. When Jesus gave His last will and testament, He said “Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid” (John 14:27). He knew His people needed peace: peace in the midst of the storm; peace for tomorrow; peace from the past; peace from an even present evil seeking to kill, steal, and destroy. There is a war waging and fear is such a huge part of that war. Today we are talking about the freedom God has given us in scripture to overcome that fear and live in peace. God has earned our trust. Won’t you give it to Him? Be sure to check us out at bestillbefree.com and find us on Facebook!Thanks as always for listening!

I’m sure most of you have heard about the verses in the Bible that talk about renewing your mind, spirit, etc. But have you stopped to think about why or how it affects your life if you don’t? Renewing ourselves is part of the great commission. Jesus called us to go and share the gospel. To love the Lord and love others. What He didn’t intend was for us to do this in our own might or power. He knew we could not. That is why he gave us the Holy Spirit to indwell in us richly so that we could have the source of power and of might to grow in the knowledge of God so that we could live daily in His image. Today we are looking at putting off the old and putting on the new. What does that mean, look like, or even how can we do that? The answers are in the word…they just need to be heard and understood.
