E89 | The Battle for Your Heart: Stepping into Freedom

In today’s episode, Stasi Eldredge invites us into a powerful conversation about the freedom Christ has won for us – and the spiritual warfare that seeks to keep us from living in it. Through Scripture and personal stories, Stasi exposes the enemy’s schemes, which are designed to keep our hearts captive and separate us from experiencing the love of God. But take heart: through Christ, we have the authority to break the enemy’s lies and step into the fullness of the life God has won for us. You are chosen, you are loved, and you are made for freedom.
