HFD Ministries
This podcast is an audio archive of teachings by Mason Ledbetter, shared through HFD Ministries. These episodes hold an unfolding journey into the finished work of Christ and the love of the Father, with a particular focus on dismantling fear-based religion and bringing clarity to scriptures and parables that are often misunderstood. The teachings invite listeners into seeing faith through the finished gospel, gently challenging distorted lenses of God, removing fear, striving, and performance, and unveiling the security of sonship, rest, and belonging in love. This podcast exists as a place to return, to listen slowly, and to grow in a clearer vision of who God is and who we are in Him.
