Darin and Aimee remember Jacob Heynen and what a wonderful loving heart he had. Jacob affected so many people in such a profound way. Free Believers around the world are mourning his loss. Both Darin and Aimee talk openly about their feelings and encourage others to do the same.

Darin and Aimee talk about how easy it is for us to second guess our every move as Christians. Because of the way many of us were raised, we have become obsessive compulsive in our relationship with God. Rather than just take life as it comes and trust that we are okay with Him always, many people worry constantly about everything they do. The real joy in the Christian walk comes when we realize that no matter what we do, we are okay with Him. Sometimes you just have to “Let it Go” if you want to experience any level of joy and contentment with God. Giving yourself permission to do that is perhaps the most important decision you’ll ever make.

Darin and Aimee talk about how prayer is usually the first issue that new Free Believers have to deal with. Because this subject has become so formulated and impersonal, people who are seeking something personal and real usually end up staring this subject right in the face from day one. Because we have become so twisted and perverted in our thinking when it comes to prayer, we usually just leave it alone for the first year or two until we even know what to do with it. Then, slowly but surely, we begin to reclaim this beautiful form of intimacy and we redefine it completely until it bares no resemblance to what we formerly knew. 

Darin and Aimee invite Darin\'s good friend, Matt Seal to join them in a few podcasts this week. Matt and Darin have known each other since Darin Pastored in the church world. The two have remained friends for many years. The three talk about the level of honesty that each believer must force themselves to reach if they ever want to truly know God and break free from religion. We come from a religious world that has taught us to put up and shut up. There will be no freedom until someone is ready to break away form the religious pecking order that controls the individual. Nothing will change until someone has the guts to topple over the manipulative pressure of political correctness. Real revolution happens when people are no longer afraid to ask the HONEST questions.

Darin and Amy talk with a long time Free Believer friend,ShannonBrown, and the importance of living IN and embracing the moment. Our religion has encouraged us to do anything but THAT. We are either taught to live for the future (heaven) or to focus on the past. It is \"in the moment\" that we can see people\'s hearts. In the end it comes down to the fact that we live in a narcissistic society. We have all learned to think and behave selfishly. It is impossible for a narcissist to live in the moment because focusing on anything other than self is boring. One of the great things about living in the wild is that it forces people to live in the moment. It becomes a \"sink or swim\" world that produces amazing results isn the believers life. Free Believers in the wild learn very quickly that living in the moment is like fire to the cavemen. It\'s what keeps you alive. 

Darin and Robert confront Christians on every level about their tendency to over dramatize just about everything in the spiritual world. Many of us have come out of a religious world that preyed upon our emotions. We learned to pray emotionally, worship emotionally, receive answers emotionally, give emotionally, read our bibles emotionally, make decisions emotionally and do just about every other thing in life emotionally. Eventually life becomes a total drag because we’ve been taught to blow everything up into an emotional frenzy. Part of being a Free Believer is being a person who has given themselves permission to dig their feet in the sand, taste ice cream and enjoy life. Everything doesn’t have to be taken so seriously. People would do themselves a great favor if they would just relax.
