Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a powerful reminder that the Christian life isn’t just about knowing God’s Word — it’s about living it. We’re introducing our scripture study in 2 Timothy 3 and beginning Day 1 of Pastor Charles Stanley’s devotional, “Freedom in Christ,” where we confront the gap so many of us have felt between being saved and actually living free. 

Together, we explore the painful but honest truth that many believers walk around pardoned but still bound — held by old habits, heavy emotions, and spiritual battles that feel impossible to break.

Through Pastor Stanley’s story and Jesus’ own words in John 8, we reflect on the freedom that becomes real only when we relinquish control and allow God’s truth to reshape our lives. If you’ve ever wondered why the freedom you believe in sometimes feels out of reach, this episode will meet you right where you are — reminding you that Jesus offers not just salvation, but a transformed life, one lived in true, lasting freedom.
