250: The Illusion of Freedom - Is Life Without God Really Free?
Thursday Sep 19, 2024
Thursday Sep 19, 2024
Show Notes::
When you talk to folks about Christianity, you often hear complaints that they don't want to follow a God that has a bunch of rules and regulations and makes people "not live their truth." You also hear from folks who walk away from the faith say that they are like a butterfly — they finally are free from their tightly bound cocoon and can fly free in the world. You also hear folks say that the fear of judgment is just Christian's ways of control people's lives and causing guilt and shame when there shouldn't be. But is this indeed true? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller sit down to discuss the difference between the world's version of freedom and what true freedom looks like. Grab your Bible and join in.
