The Finding Freedom Co. Podcast | Verse-by-Verse Bible Study for Women Seeking Freedom in Christ

After 5 years and 170 episodes, I’m sharing something deeply personal in today’s episode: why I’m stepping into a sabbatical season. This isn’t goodbye. It’s not burnout. And it’s not walking away from ministry. It’s a Spirit-led pause. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the last five years of podcasting, the faithfulness of God through every season, and why I believe He’s inviting me into a seaso...

As we close our verse-by-verse study through the book of James, we’re stepping back to see the full picture of what God has been forming in us. James is not just a collection of teachings, it’s a roadmap for a living, active, and steady faith. In this final episode, we revisit the major themes of the book and reflect on what it means to live a faith that is: steady in trials obedient to the Word t...

As James closes his letter, he doesn’t give a summary, he gives us a lifestyle. In James 5:13–20 , we see that prayer isn’t meant to be occasional or reactive… it’s meant to shape every part of our lives. In this verse-by-verse teaching, we walk through what it looks like to: Turn to God in both suffering and joy Invite community into our weakness instead of isolating Understand what Scripture rea...

You’ll learn: What biblical patience actually means Why waiting seasons are spiritually signi...

Last week, we talked about the danger of living like we’re in control, making plans without acknowledging God. This week, James takes it a step further. In James 5:1–6, we’re confronted with a sobering truth: it’s not just our plans that can reflect pride… it’s our possessions too. This passage isn’t about condemning wealth, it’s about exposing hearts that trust in it, cling to it, or use it unjus...

If you’re a planner, a goal-setter, or someone who loves mapping out the future… this passage might challenge you, in the best way. In this episode, we’re walking through James 4:13–17 and talking about what it really means to make plans with God instead of assuming we’re in control. Because the issue isn’t planning… it’s presumption. We’ll break down: What “boasting about tomorrow” actually means...

Have you ever wondered if the way you’re thinking, reacting, or making decisions is truly rooted in God’s wisdom? In this verse-by-verse Bible study of James 3:13–18, we uncover the clear and convicting difference between earthly wisdom and wisdom that comes from heaven. James shows us that true wisdom isn’t just about what we know, it’s revealed through how we live, how we love, and how we respon...

In James 3:1-12, we’re confronted with a sobering truth: our words carry more power than we realize. James begins with a weighty warning for teachers, but quickly shifts to something that applies to all of us: the tongue. Though small, it has the ability to direct our lives, destroy relationships, and reveal what’s truly in our hearts. In this verse-by-verse Bible study, we break down: Why teacher...

In this episode, we walk verse by verse through James 2:14–26 , one of the most discussed passages in the New Testament. James asks a powerful question: What good is it if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Does this mean our works save us? How does this passage fit with Paul’s teaching that we are saved by grace through faith? Together we unpack: • The difference between claiming fait...

In this Bible study, we walk verse-by-verse through James 2:1-13 and examine James’ warning against favoritism among believers. James teaches that faith in Jesus Christ cannot coexist with partiality. When we elevate people based on wealth, appearance, influence, or status, we contradict the very character of God, who shows no favoritism. In this teaching we explore: • Why favoritism is considered...

What proves real transformation? In this episode, we walk verse-by-verse through Epistle of James 1:19–27 and uncover what James says true faith actually looks like. It’s not just hearing the Word. It’s not just knowing theology. It’s not outward religious performance. James confronts us with the evidence of genuine transformation: – Quick to listen – Slow to speak – Slow to anger – Doers of the W...

In this episode, we begin our verse-by-verse study through the Epistle of James by walking through James 1:1–18.James writes to believers who have been scattered, persecuted, and stripped of the stability they once knew.
