Finding Freedom: Lessons from Jesus' Parables
All I do know is that, had god come instead of jesus- or I guess god did come because he is jesus... And he's laying that foundation for us to see a little glimpse inside the heart of god.
Ever wondered how ancient stories can guide you through modern struggles? This episode of 'Freedom to Choose' brings that idea to life. The hosts from Just As I Am Ministries dive into the timeless parables of Jesus, connecting them to the journey of overcoming addiction.
They explore themes like the kingdom of God, human nature, and the miracle of a new path, offering both inspiration and practical advice for those seeking freedom from addiction or simply looking for a better way to live. One standout moment is when the hosts discuss the importance of humility and being open to new teachings. They share personal stories about how admitting 'I was wrong' or 'I thought this, but I was mistaken' can be a game-changer.
It's a reminder that sometimes, the more we think we know, the more we might actually be off track. The episode also touches on the gifts of the spirit—gentleness, kindness, meekness, self-control, and self-mastery—and how these qualities can help you on your journey. They even highlight the challenges and rewards of nurturing a new Christian along this unfamiliar path. And who could forget the touching parable of the lost coin?
It serves as a beautiful metaphor for redemption and the joy of being 'found' again. Whether you're grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of spiritual wisdom and practical steps to guide you towards a liberated life.
