Knowing Freedom Podcast
Hosted by Chris Hippe · EN
Jesus promises us abundant life and joy independent of our life circumstances. We can often lose sight of God's promises and become weighed down with cares, defeat, past hurts, hopelessness, and bondage.
Freedom is not just about changing behavior, but about letting God change our very being. Knowing Freedom is about becoming more like Jesus and reflecting His love and power to those around us. In this podcast, you won't just learn new information to store away on a shelf. The goal is true, inner transformation, and the time is now!
