They lied to you about being a Christian.

When you first "joined the club" they promised you'd be set free. But let's get honest, you're not free. In fact, you're religious, afraid, guilty, and bound. What's worse, now that you've been in the club a while, you're stuck pretending you're better than you are. And worse than that, you prefer the security and rules of your self-imposed boundaries.

It's time for a change. You need Scandalous Freedom.

On the Scandalous Freedom Podcast, Steve Brown disabuses you of your confusion about freedom, grace and forgiveness. Real Christianity calls us to live beyond the boundaries, bolstered by the assurance that we cannot fall beyond God's love. And real freedom…that's just plain scandalous.

The Humanity that Sets Us Free

Erik Guzman September 3rd, 2007

We are all pretty much alike: sinful, afraid, lonely, regretful, sometimes doubting, sometimes right, sometimes wrong, angry, loving, hateful, selfish, kind, wounded, and very human. When we realize how much we have in common with those we tend to demonize, we've taken a big step toward diminishing our "enemies'" power over us.

This week on the Scandalous Freedom Podcast, Steve discusses the freedom that comes from the realization that nobody can speak as an outsider of the human race.
