Welcome friends, to Stories of Freedom, a podcast about discovering and embracing who you are in Christ. Join hosts Amanda Thompson and Dan Studt, President of FICM-US, as we visit with people who have overcome obstacles, gained freedom, and found abundant life. These conversations will highlight the Goodness of God woven throughout the lives of His people and teach us, as His children, to appreciate that very same Goodness in our own lives. We will journey together growing to better understand how to live this life free and fruitful in Christ.
