Abiding Free | Biblical Truth & Encouragement
A podcast about being rooted in truth and living life to the full! Because even though life can be messy and hard, God has promised to give us freedom here and now! This freedom gives us a secure identity, even with a broken past. It helps us have joy in parenting, even when we are exhausted. This freedom gives us love for our spouses- even when they are unlovable. And it can give us purpose in our careers- even if it’s not the one we want. Welcome to the Abiding Free podcast with Shannon and Kristin…we invite you to walk with us on the bumpy but beautiful journey toward freedom, as we learn to ABIDE IN HIM. Get ready for tears and laughter, and everything in between. Because this podcast is about living from the truth that yes, it was for freedom that Christ set you free!
