In this episode of Stories of Freedom, Roberto Reed shares his journey of faith, identity, and the transformative power of understanding who we are in Christ. With over 30 years of pastoral experience, Roberto discusses the influence of his upbringing in Ecuador, Mexico, and the U.S. as the child of missionaries, and the challenges of navigating identity as a third culture kid. He shares his personal journey of brokenness and how it led to a redefinition of success and the resulting fruitfulness that came from discovering his own freedom in Christ. We discuss the pervasive issue of busyness in the Western church, and the need for submission that brings about a balance between work and resting in the Lord. Roberto also highlights his ministry work in Latin America and as the National Director of Latinos USA.
