This weekend we observe the 4th of July - Independence Day - as a nation. Many will be waving their flags and shooting off fireworks in celebration, while others find little to celebrate in a day where their ancestors were not yet free. In today's episode, Steve, John David, and Rakhi explore the idea of freedom through the lens of Christ - not country - and discuss what it means to be free, how that compels us to act, and how/when our freedom faces limitations.
