  • 19. Breaking the Stronghold of Rejection

    Rejection is a lie from the enemy, designed to deceive us into doubting our worth and purpose. But when we understand our true identity in Christ, we realize that we are loved, chosen, and accepted by the Creator of the universe. This truth fills the void in our hearts, replacing the emptiness of rejection with the fullness of God's unconditional love and affirmation. Knowing who we are in Christ silences the lies of the enemy and empowers us to walk in confidence, knowing that we are always valued and never alone.

      Do you feel hopeful or anxious about the new year? While it can be exciting to think of future

      opportunities, it can also seem overwhelming. The truth is, you are created in the image of the One who gave everything so you can be free. But do we live like we believe it?

      In this episode, we discuss how transformation trumps new year’s resolutions and is the catalyst

      for long-term change and a life of freedom. Join us as we build a foundation of truth to steady us
      in pursuit of our purpose and passion. Expect encouragement, actionable strategies, and a
      heartfelt reminder of your unique calling.

          • 17. Highlights of Freedom and Truth

            In this episode, we’re taking a moment to reflect on some of the truths we’ve studied on our path

            to freedom. And as this year comes to a close, we are planning to finish strong.
            This is a radical truth journey we are taking together. So bring the desires of your heart…
            Keep showing up with expectancy… Let go of unrealistic expectations, and trust God for
            immeasurably more than imaginable.

This episode is both a wake-up call and a loving nudge to let go of fear and step boldly into the fullness of our identity and our freedom.

                  Purpose. Transformation. Equipping. Regrets. Faith. Generational impact, and more.

                        Anxiety seems to be the most well-known and most commonly shared emotion plaguing society today. I’ve never met anyone who has never experienced it, and I’ve met many who live in a common state of mental & emotional fight or flight.

                        Listen in on this episode of the Choosing Freedom podcast as we begin to diffuse the power anxiety has over our everyday lives. Let’s consider practical steps for conquering the root behind our anxious thoughts and examine how scripture gives us example after example of God showing up in uncertain circumstances.

                        In this episode, we explore the freedom found in an unoffendable mindset!

                        People seem to be more easily offended than ever. How does our perception of our identity in Christ influence our level of offended-ness? Join us as we investigate the transforming potential of living unoffendable.

                        In this episode, we courageously examine the usually messy and often misunderstood topic of forgiveness! By addressing common misconceptions, you’ll hear how forgiveness is not about excusing the wrongs from our past, but about breaking free from the bondage of unforgiveness.

                        What does the Bible teach about the consequences of unforgiveness? How does the enemy use unforgiveness as a strategy against us? How can our forgiveness of others set us free?
                        Join us for life applicable insight to help us overcome the obstacle of unforgiveness and unlock a new level of freedom.

                      • 10. Prayer (Part 2): Confession to Freedom—The Ultimate Rescue

                        In part two of this series, we are on a journey to honestly examine our approach to the topic of confession.


                        What makes confession seem so daunting? How does our perception of God
                        impact the effectiveness of our prayers? What does research say about how our approach to prayer affects our mental health? How can we begin to see confession as a form of “rescue”?

                        Christ died to set us free from the lies we have believed about ourselves and about God. He came to break bondages and bring us into close relationship with Him. Confession wasn’t meant to be condemning. It purifies our hearts and rescues us from defeat and shame.

                        Don’t miss this open invitation to meet God in a fresh way. Through confession, He makes all things new!
