Thursday, February 6: What does it mean to be truly free? In this episode of The Daily Grind, John Spencer explores the counterintuitive truth that real freedom is found not in power or control but in surrender to God. Drawing from Philippians 2:5-11 and Luke 4:1-12, John unpacks how Jesus demonstrated true humility and overcame temptation, showing us a better way to live. While the world offers shortcuts to success and satisfaction, Jesus teaches that lasting fulfillment comes through obedience and trust. Through His humility, He was exalted. Through His resistance to temptation, He secured victory. John breaks down how these passages challenge us to rethink our ideas of freedom and provides practical ways we can lean on Scripture and the Holy Spirit to stand firm in our faith. If you’ve ever felt trapped by sin, fear, or the pressure to be in control, this episode will encourage you. Jesus has already won the victory—our job is to follow Him. Tune in and discover how embracing humility and obedience leads to a truly liberated life.
