FREEDOM (10 Words to Heal Our Broken World Series)

Ideas Have Consequences

Freedom means I can do whatever I want, right? Wrong, that's a hijacked and distorted meaning. The Biblical view of freedom is "The capacity to self-govern; to act according to one's choices within God's created order and under His moral law." This matters because it gives guidance for a culture to truly maintain freedom without succumbing to humanity's gravitational pull toward chaos. It requires a collective embrace of the boundaries that God lovingly instituted for our good and flourishing. Join Scott and the team as we consider the wisdom of this definition and contrast it with the contemporary counterfeit. What kinds of lives and societies would grow from these contrasting definitions? This episode will encourage you to consider the profound importance and implications of this word and how it is used.
