As Maxie Dunnam was looking over his writing schedule, he noticed something that made him pause: July Fourth. It’s the most celebrated civic holiday here in the US—a day all about freedom. But what does freedom really mean for us as followers of Christ? - True freedom isn’t the absence of limits—it actually requires discipline. - And real Christian freedom always expresses itself through love for others. In Galatians, Paul reminds us that Christ set us free so we could love and serve—not so we could do whatever we want. That freedom, rooted in love, is what makes it possible for us to become who God created us to be. If that idea sparks something in you—or challenges you—I’d love for you to read the article. My hope is that as you celebrate freedom this season, you’ll also rediscover the deeper, life-giving freedom we have in Christ.
