The Free Man's Podcast

What does it actually mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?

Is it just believing the right things… or is it something much than an intellectual assent?

In this episode of The Free Man’s Podcast, we break down what true discipleship really is—and how a lot of people might be misunderstanding it.

Jesus calls people to follow Him, abide in Him, and go with Him.

We cover 3 essential marks of a disciple:

1️⃣ Following Jesus
Believing/trusting Him, and then by His Spirit and grace, we can deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Jesus in every area of life.

2️⃣ Abiding in Christ
Living in communion and fellowship with Christ will bring about fruit to God's glory and the good of those around us.

3️⃣ Going and Making Disciples
Stepping into mission—sharing the gospel, making disciples, and walking in the good works God prepared for each of us to do.

This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about being transformed as we live and walk with Jesus.

👉 A disciple doesn’t just know about Jesus…
He walks with Him, becomes like Him, and lives on mission with Him.

So the question is:

Are you truly following Jesus?

Congress is working on several major bills that could impact energy regulation, foreign influence in education, and medical procedures involving minors.

In this episode of The Free Man’s Podcast, we break down three important pieces of legislation currently moving through Congress and ask an important question:

Are these policies constitutional—and what do they mean for liberty?

We cover:

1. The Affordable HOMES Act (H.R. 5184)
A bill that rolls back Department of Energy regulations on manufactured housing energy standards.

2. The PROTECT Our Kids Act (H.R. 1069)
Legislation designed to block Chinese government influence in American schools.

3. The Do No Harm in Medicaid Act (H.R. 498)
A bill preventing Medicaid funds from paying for gender transition procedures for minors.

Along the way we examine:

What each bill actually does
Whether Congress has the constitutional authority to pass it
How the spending power is used to influence state policy
Why the rule of law matters for protecting liberty
What a biblical worldview says about government authority and responsibility

A core issue is not simply whether a policy is good or bad (thought that matters), rather when government acts outside its lawful limits, even good intentions can lead to the growth of unchecked power.

Congress is working on major legislation that could impact federal elections, government spending, and the future of federal power.

In today’s episode of The Free Man’s Podcast, we break down two major developments you need to understand:

• The SAVE Act (H.R. 22) — requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections
• The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026 (H.R. 7148) — a massive funding bill supporting multiple federal departments and programs

We explain:

What these bills actually do
The constitutional authority Congress claims to use
How these laws may affect liberty, government power, and everyday Americans from a Biblical Worldview.

This episode focuses on understanding the role of Congress, the Constitution, and the importance of the rule of law in a free society.
