Our lives are defined by the things we are tethered to, past hurts, current shame, and future fears. All of these can feel like a mass of ropes entangling and holding us back. There is a better way. A way that draws us forward rather than pulling us back; a way that releases us from the mistakes of our pasts. A way that tethers us to a greater purpose and pulls us toward a preferred future. Freedom is found when we release what holds us back and hold tight to the promises of God.
