Bible Study Isn't Supposed to Leave Us the Same What happens when we know what God's Word says but don't actually live in response to it? We can read our Bibles, attend church, listen to sermons, and participate in Bible studies. But knowing Scripture and obeying Scripture aren't the same thing. In Episode 173 of The Finding Freedom Co.

As we close our verse-by-verse study through the book of James, we’re stepping back to see the full picture of what God has been forming in us. James is not just a collection of teachings, it’s a roadmap for a living, active, and steady faith. In this final episode, we revisit the major themes of the book and reflect on what it means to live a faith that is: steady in trials
