trailer

Over the past few years, we’ve noticed that it has become really hard to follow Jesus. We live in a busy world and live incredibly busy lives. Live’s that, if we are being honest, leave little room for God. In the chaos of the busyness lies a gap between the life Jesus offers and the life we are living today. For many of us, it’s this simple - we believe in Him but don’t know how to follow him. And I believe that’s why we don’t experience what Jesus called Life to the Full.We are excited to tell you we are back for a second season of Free And Light!In Season Two, we are going to dive a little deeper into those nine practices by organizing them around three key themes of what it takes to live the life Jesus offers.In this season, we’ll talk about what we’ve learned in the last year and how God is shaping us to be more like Him. And, we have a few new things in store to help you seek Jesus well so that you can see the fruit in your own life.Join us for Season Two of Free And Light. New episodes will be released on Mondays, every two weeks starting January 23rd.This podcast is an offering of Seek Well. To find out more about us visit seekwell.orgWant to help?
