Faith & Mission Podcast Episode 3 | Everyone is talking about freedom — but almost no one truly has it. In the wealthiest, most politically free nations on earth, depression, anxiety, and suicide are surging. No government, education system, or amount of money has solved it — because the root of every chain is spiritual, not political.

Recorded live at Times Square during America's semi-quincentennial — five Jubilees — Pastor Steve Hannett delivers one of the most urgent and grace-filled messages of the Faith & Mission Podcast. Anchored in John 8:31-36, this episode exposes why political and civil liberty alone can never satisfy the soul, and why true freedom is always internal, spiritual, and rooted in the person of Jesus Christ. Sin is the root of every form of bondage — and the Son of God alone has the legal authority to set you completely free. Wherever you are, this message is for you.
