In this week’s episode of The Follow Up, we explore John 8:31–59, where Jesus reveals what true freedom really is. Even believers can live as though they’re still enslaved, and in this conversation we unpack why that happens, how to recognize the chains we often ignore, and what it looks like to pursue freedom in Christ with intention.

Pastors Jack, Jeff, and Bill discuss:

– The difference between independence and true freedom

– Why we’re often the last to see our own areas of bondage

– Idols that quietly control our hearts

– How Scripture and community work together to expose what enslaves us

– Jesus’ staggering claim: “Before Abraham was, I AM.”

– Practical steps to move toward spiritual freedom

If you’re stuck in one area of life and longing for change, this episode offers both clarity and hope.
