What does it really mean to live in freedom? And why does it sometimes feel like a process?

In this episode of the Freedom Forever Podcast, Lee Rust unpacks the connection between true freedom and Jesus’ teachings in John chapter 15. Through the simple yet powerful image of an African violet, Lee illustrates what it looks like to grow spiritually and stay connected to Christ.

Just like a plant needs intentional care to thrive, our faith requires us to remain rooted in Him.

This episode explores how abiding in Christ brings lasting peace, and how the process of pruning, though sometimes uncomfortable, is essential for real growth and fruitfulness.

You’ll be encouraged to see your own spiritual journey through a new lens: one that embraces both the beauty and the refining that comes with following Jesus.

Because freedom in Christ isn’t just a moment. It’s something we grow into as we stay connected to Him.
