Lesson 8: The Redemption of Your Story Within God’s Good Purpose | Key #5

Because Jesus has redeemed us, our stories are held within God’s good purpose. Even when we cannot understand our circumstances or see how everything fits together, we can trust the One who holds our stories.

In this episode of freedomGIVER, we explore how understanding God’s story helps us see our own lives through a different lens. Rather than allowing our circumstances, disappointments, or regrets to define our stories, we can remember who God is and trust that His redemptive work is unfolding, even in the chapters that remain unfinished.

Through personal stories and Scripture, we consider:

• How understanding His story helps us understand our own.

• How His character changes the way we read our circumstances.

• How His redemption is at work while our stories remain unfinished.

• How we can entrust the unwritten chapters of our lives to Him.

Here are three truths to remember as you consider your own story:

1. God knows your entire story. Every day of your life is known to Him. Psalm 139:16

2. God is working within your story. He is able to work all things together for good according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

3. God will continue His work in you. What He has begun, He will bring to completion. Philippians 1:6

A question to carry with you: What might change if, instead of trying to understand everything happening in your story, you focused on knowing and trusting the One who holds it?

freedomGIVER: Living Every Day in the Reality of the Gospel is a Bible study about discovering the freedom Jesus has already secured for us and learning to live in that truth each day.

The companion workbook, freedomGIVER: Living Every Day in the Reality of the Gospel, will be available beginning January 2027.

Lesson 7: The Relationship Through His Spirit | Key #4

God’s greatest gift is Himself. Through His Spirit, He gives us His continual presence and invites us into an ongoing relationship with Him.

In this episode of freedomGIVER, we explore how Scripture and prayer help us remember who our Father is, who we are as His children, and the truth that we are never on our own. We listen through His Word and respond in prayer, carrying that conversation into everyday life.

Through personal stories and Scripture, we consider:

• His faithfulness as the foundation of our relationship.
• His Spirit’s abiding presence.
• Hearing from Him through His Word.
• Prayer as a conversation with our Father.
• How remembering His nearness changes the way we live.

Here are three reminders to quickly connect with God:

1. Ask God to show you His purposes. Psalm 57:2
2. Stay in His Word for confidence and assurance. Psalm 119:105
3. Remember you cannot do this on your own. Ask for His Spirit’s help. Romans 8:5–6

A question to carry with you: How might remembering that God is near change the way you approach your day?

Lesson 6: Key #3 — The Riches of Your Father’s Love

What changes when you remember that you are God’s beloved child? In this episode, we explore the riches of your Father’s love and the freedom of knowing you belong to Him. Through Jesus, you have been welcomed into His family. You can stop living as though you are on your own and begin resting in His love, acceptance, and care.

Through stories and Scripture, Anna invites you to remember: God is in control. God is good. I am His child.

In this lesson:
• The cross made your adoption possible.
• Your Father loves and accepts you just as you are.
• You belong to Him and are worthy and valuable.
• Remembering whose you are changes how you face fear and uncertainty.

Chapter 5: The Righteousness of Jesus | Key #2 | freedomGIVER

If we have been reconciled to God through Jesus, how can we possibly stand before a perfectly holy God?

In Chapter 5, The Righteousness of Jesus, Anna introduces the second key to freedom: the incredible reality that because of Jesus, we have been given a right standing before God that we could never earn or achieve on our own. We no longer have to prove our goodness or work to maintain God's acceptance. His righteousness is a gift we receive through faith.

Through stories, Scripture, and reflection, we'll explore the goodness and purposes of God's Law, the relationship between Law and grace, and how the gospel changes the way we understand obedience. We don't obey to earn God's favor. We learn to obey because we have already received it.

I believe that because of Jesus, I am fully righteous before God, not because of what I do, but because of what He has done for me.

Chapter 4: Reconciliation Through Christ | Key #1 | freedomGIVER

How can broken, sinful people have access to a perfectly holy God?

In Chapter 4, Reconciliation Through Christ, Anna introduces the first key to freedom: the incredible reality that because of Jesus, our broken relationship with God has been restored. Through Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice, we have been brought near and given access to God as our Father.

Through stories, Scripture, and reflection, we’ll explore atonement, reconciliation, mercy, and grace and discover what it means to be in Christ. We no longer stand outside trying to earn our way in. Jesus has made the way.

I believe that because of Jesus, I am fully reconciled to God and have access to Him as my Father.

Chapter 3: Unlocking Your Unbelief | freedomGIVER

What do we do when we believe in God but struggle to believe Him in a particular place?

In Chapter 3, Unlocking Your Unbelief, Anna introduces the lock in the imagery of freedomGIVER. What we believe about God, ourselves, and our circumstances shapes how we live. When we hold to what is true, the lock opens. When we believe what is false, the chains can feel tightly fastened.

Through stories and Scripture, we’ll consider the connection between belief, trust, and faith. We’ll also look at repentance as an invitation to return to God, and learn to look beneath our behavior for the unbelief at its root. We can bring even our struggle to believe to the One who meets us with grace.

I believe; help my unbelief! Mark 9:24

Chapter 2: The Chains That Bind You | freedomGIVER

What keeps us from living in the freedom Jesus has already given us?

In Chapter 2, The Chains That Bind You, Anna takes us into the bigger story of Scripture, from Eden to Eternity, to help us understand how brokenness entered our world and why we still feel its effects today. Even though we belong to Christ, we can find ourselves living as though old chains still have power over us.

Through stories, Scripture, and reflection, we’ll begin identifying some of the chains that weigh us down and the beliefs beneath them. We’ll also look at the things we reach for to give us what only God can provide, and discover the grace that continues to meet us there. The chains may be real, but they are not our master.

For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14

Chapter 1: A Treasure Bigger Than You’ve Ever Imagined | freedomGIVER

What if the gospel is more than the message that saves us? What if it is an invitation into a treasure far greater than we have ever imagined?

In Chapter 1, A Treasure Bigger Than You’ve Ever Imagined, we begin by going back to the gospel itself, not simply as the starting point of our faith, but as the truth we are invited to live in every single day. We’ll explore what it means to come to God like a little child, to recognize the difference between inspiration and invitation, and to begin seeing the gospel as an inheritance to receive rather than a paycheck to earn.
