Freedom to Be You

Freedom to Be You

What does genuine freedom actually look like? In the summer of America's 250th anniversary, this five-week series works through Paul's letter to the Galatians alongside the lives of remarkable Americans who embodied a kind of freedom that cost them something and built something lasting. Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson, Sojourner Truth, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Greg Boyle each discovered what Paul was writing about long before they had the language for it. Freedom, it turns out, is more expansive, more costly, and more demanding than anything we celebrate with fireworks. And it has everything to do with who gets to belong.
