Freed Indeed - Going Deeper with God
Welcome to Freed Indeed, the podcast that explores what it means to have a real relationship with God—not the empty promises or endless demands of man-made religion—but daily, authentic intimacy with your Creator, in a relationship based on His unchanging character, not your performance.
Hosted by Pastor Rich Lasinski and his wife, author and speaker Kirsten Lasinski.
