Identity, Obedience, and Setting Captives Free – A Conversation with Steve Part 1 (Audio)

In this episode, Joe and Steve unpack the heart of spiritual freedom: understanding who you are in Christ and learning how to fight with truth. They talk about shame, pride, passivity, and the subtle ways the enemy steals identity from believers who should be walking in authority. We talk about obedience as a lifestyle, not an event. Steve shares the story of leaving a successful career to step into full-time ministry, the fear that came with it, and the night he sensed God clearly calling him back to Scottsdale for a greater purpose. The conversation moves from theology to practice—bold prayer, spiritual gifts, fighting from victory, and what it looks like to actually “set captives free.” Freedom isn’t a weekend experience. It’s a Spirit-led sanctification process. If you’ve been living anonymously, passively, or quietly bound, this conversation is an invitation to step into your authority in Christ.
