What Does It Mean To Be Truly Free? - S23E4

Following Jesus doesn’t chain us, it frees us. In this powerful conversation, Pastors Joby Martin, Michael Olsen, and Jonathan Vinke unpack Romans 7:4–8:2 through the lens of the hymn Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. From the battle between grace and struggle to the myth of freedom without boundaries, this episode calls us back to the fountain of every blessing, Jesus Christ Himself.
