Enslaved by a prison of performance Part 5
Imagine being known for the worst thing you’ve done. That’s what happens to those who’ve been in prison. And even after they’ve been released, they’re constantly reminded by society of what they’ve done. In a sense, they still feel imprisoned. Today on "Discover the Word," we, along with guest Karen Swanson, talk about how we all can be enslaved by a prison of performance. Listen today to "Discover the Word"!
It’s not where you are, but who you are Part 4
It’s possible to be behind bars, but still experience freedom. And it’s also possible to not be an inmate at a prison, yet still be enslaved by sin. It’s not where you are but who you are. Today on "Discover the Word," the group, and special guest Karen Swanson, talks about how pride can hold us in a prison of our own making while humility can set us free.

Perpetrators and victims of sin Part 2
While victims of crime can struggle with anger and bitterness, the criminal can wrestle with the shame and the guilt of what they’ve done. And both end up being imprisoned by the things they battle. Today on "Discover the Word," the group, and special guest Karen Swanson, talks about how we’re both perpetrators of sin and victims of sin, making us all prisoners, until Christ sets us free.
