Corder Cast: Standing Firm in Today's Culture

Tim & Jeana Hendrix: What Freedom Looks Like Daily // Episode 21 (Part 2)

In Part 2 of our conversation with Tim and Jeana Hendrix, we shift from their redemption story to the daily rhythms that keep them walking in freedom. This episode is all about the “after” — how they stay surrendered to Jesus, how they remain transparent about their past, and how they continue doing real life with their adult children while serving full-time in ministry. Tim and Jeana talk candidly about what ongoing surrender actually looks like, why honesty still matters even after healing, and how they protect time for each other when leadership, schedules, and real life get loud. Their wisdom is steady, practical, and shaped by years of choosing faithfulness one day at a time. This episode is a hopeful reminder that freedom isn’t a moment — it’s a daily decision.
