Naming the Beasts & Coming Home | Freedom Frameworks Finale

We're diving deep into the concept of freedom this week, focusing on what it means to live from our reconciled selves in Christ. It's a profound exploration of how our understanding of freedom shapes our lives and choices. We discuss the importance of agreeing with who we are in Christ, not just striving to become something else, and how this reconciled identity empowers us to navigate life's challenges, including serious health struggles. As we confront our own difficulties, like Jason's recent cancer diagnosis, we reflect on the tension between life and death and the invitation to name the things that roam within us. Ultimately, we emphasize that true freedom is found in recognizing and living from our already reconciled selves, allowing us to tend to our inner gardens with confidence and authority.Resources:Settled Conference - Aug. 27-28, 2026For Updates on Jason's Journey: settledco.com/jasonReclaim What's Real 5-Day JouneySettled Design CourseFree 30 Minute Biblical Counseling SessionLinktree - https://linktr.ee/settledcoConnect with us:Website - https://settledco.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/settled.co/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552836102590YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@settledpodcastLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/settledco/Takeaways:We discussed how true freedom is about living from our reconciled self in Christ, not striving to earn our worth.Our journey back to our true selves is about recognizing and naming the beasts that distract us from our identity.We emphasized the importance of defining freedom correctly, as a misdefinition can lead us into confusion and bondage.In facing challenges like illness, we can still affirm our identity in Christ, saying, 'The cancer doesn't have me.'Tending to our inner garden means naming both the positive and negative aspects of our lives, empowering us to live authentically.We reminded ourselves that our will is healed in Christ, allowing us to pursue true freedom without fear of performance.Mentioned in this episode:Supporting Us Through This JourneyAs many of you know, Jason was recently diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer.
