The Freedom of a Good Master

A quick note before we begin: Because of a numbering mix-up earlier in the series, Jody and I went back and recorded fresh episodes for Days 19 and 20 in our study of the book “40-Day Journey Into Gospel Growth and Freedom: How To Grow Into Christ-Likeness”. Today we’re sending out Day 19, and tomorrow Day 20 will follow. Day 19: The Freedom of a Good MasterAsk most people what freedom means and they’ll tell you it’s having no one to answer to, no rules, no master, no strings. But here’s the strange thing: that kind of freedom has never once existed, and chasing it has left more people trapped than almost anything else.In today’s episode, we dig into Romans 6:15-18, where Paul says something that sounds upside down at first. Real freedom isn’t the absence of a master. It’s belonging to the right one. We were all serving something long before we ever noticed the chains, and the gospel doesn’t just break the old ones. It hands us to a Master so good that being owned by Him turns out to be the freedom we were after all along.Grab your Bible, settle in, and listen along with Jody and me. This is a public episode.
