What is Christian freedom really for?

On today’s Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack hosts a powerful message from Pastor Nick as we continue our journey through Galatians 5. This episode reminds us that freedom in Christ isn’t about self‑indulgence — it’s about learning to walk in step with the Holy Spirit.Pastor Nick unpacks Paul’s teaching that we were set free for a purpose: to love God, love others, and live a life shaped by the fruit of the Spirit. Together, we explore what it practically looks like to crucify the flesh, rely on the Spirit’s power, and follow Jesus one step at a time.If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure how to live out your faith, this message offers clarity, encouragement, and hope.Shepherd Church of the Nazarene
