Stories of Freedom is a podcast about discovering and embracing who you are in Christ. Join Dan Studt, President of FICM-USA, and co-host Lauren Boyt as they talk to people who have overcome obstacles, gained freedom, and found abundant life. After each interview, they discuss what Biblical principles are evident in each person's story and how they can apply to your life. At Freedom in Christ Ministries, we believe that growth and transformation is possible for every believer—and that's what this podcast is all about. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we pray that these “stories of freedom” inspire you to trust God to a greater extent.
