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.

Listen to hear how the preaching of the law without an understanding that it was given to send us to a loving and forgiving God will destroy our freedom (and the resulting success He would have for us).

[…] From Dreading to Delighting in God's Law: Steve Brown on The Law and Success Posted on October 18, 2007 by LO How can Christians truly sing Psalm 1:2, "But his delight is in the law of the Lord," when it still feels like the law condemns, shames, and accuses us? The answer is by understanding the Christian's new relationship God's law (or the law's third use, as Reformed speak would put it.) Listen to Steve Brown explain the Christian's new relationship to God's Law in "rubber meets the road" terms on his recent broadcast: The Law and Success. […]
