Culture’s version of freedom sounds like this: “Be free. Don’t be constrained by others’ values. Live your truth and don’t let anyone limit you.” In other words, the spirit of the age equates freedom with the lack of restraint. Keep your options open is today’s mantra. But the Biblical picture of freedom isn’t a lack of submission—real freedom comes from ultimate submission. Freedom isn’t the absence of responsibility—it is the embrace of responsibility. In today’s podcast, Alan Wright explores the meaning of freedom and explains why only well-trained dogs can go unleashed.
