    FREEWAY BIBLE STUDY

    A Not-So-Perfect Guide to Freedom

    Things we’ve done, Things done to us.

    • Old wounds.
    • Regret.
    • Shame.
    • Anger.
    • Fear.

    Patterns we keep repeating. - Freeway creates space to stop running from those places and begin looking at them through the radical grace of God.


    You don’t need a perfect story.

    You need an honest one.
