Freedom. We long for it. We fight for it. We will do anything to get it.
Yet sometimes we forget to live in it!
This weekend while our family celebrated the freedom and independence of our country, I was reminded what freedom means and how easily I take it for granted, especially as a Christ-follower. Yet Jesus said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.“John 8:36
In Christ we are free!
- Free from guilt that weighs us down and sin that holds us back.
- Free from labels that define us and doubts that limit us.
- Free from grace-less expectations and obligations.
It was for freedom that Christ set us free. (Galatians 5:1). Let’s take hold of this truth, and LIVE #FREE in the power of HIS promises and the purpose of His plans for our lives!

FREEDOM from Mommy-Guilt
Do you look at other families who seem so “put together” and wonder why your’s doesn’t isn’t? Does mommy-guilt over your child’s “issues” ever keep you from enjoying motherhood and where your kids are in their journey of growing up?
There have been times when I could answer “yes” to both questions. And during those days or weeks, or months, I miss out on what God has for me as a mom.
One of the best gifts we can give ourselves is GRACE to have an imperfect family and be an imperfect mom. And one of the best gifts we can give our children is to set them FREE to be all that God has created them to be—not forcing them to live out our dreams or comparing them to our friend’s kid.
Jill Savage and Kathy Koch have written a guide to help parents truly appreciate their kids. One thing I love about this book is their goal to teach us how to study and become an expert on our children, knowing that we cannot fully embrace them until you truly know them.
- Identify and remove the Perfection Infection from our parenting.
- Really know each child so we can fully embrace their unique design.
- Release our children from unrealistic expectations.
- Answer the questions our kids are silently asking in a way that gives them the courage and freedom to be themselves.
Written in a passionate, candid, and personal way, the authors will instill within you hope and contentment. You’ll be inspired to apply the practical, realistic, and relevant ideas and tactics Jill and Kathy share. (Leaders Guide included in back of book.) And thanks to Jill and Kathy’s generous publisher, I’ve got 5 copies to give away!!

I’d like to win anything from Limitless Life. I’ve just completed the book with a P31 small online study group. It’s my prayer to share this life changing study with others. God bless you in your desire to share the Word~Blessings
I need a Limitless Life. I limit myself by listening to the devil’s lies about how I am not worthy or capable even though I know the truth. He always brings back my failures and plays on my weaknesses. I want to experience freedom and be able to live a limitless life.
I would LOVE the book, please! I have 2 young boys (5 & 8) and already I am feeling like I have no idea now to parent and raise them to be Godly men!
I would love the Limitless Life series. Upon reading the first two parts, I knew that was the one I needed. I have trouble forgiving myself and moving on from my past.
BOOK – I would love to get my hands on that book. This parenting thing is a lot tougher than I imagined it. But I also find that most of the time, when things feel really complicated, its me making them that way. Will my kids still learn to love Jesus if I can’t get myself together for family devotions? If I compromise with my 5 year old about not wearing collared shirts to church, am I letting him be the boss too much? If I force my boys outside to play and they hate it, am I trying to make them into “little me’s” and not allowing them to be themselves? What if I can’t afford private school, or home school? What if I can’t stick to a chore chart? How do I balance wanting time with them after work with not always being their source of entertainment so they can learn to play on their own? Ahhhhhh!!!! Jesus, let them just see YOU in my life. Please take my failures and somehow use them to bring us all closer to you. Fill the many many gaps in my parenting. I love those boys with all my heart. Thank you for choosing me to be their Mom. Amen!
You just took my exact feelings/concerns and put them into words! Praying God fills both our hearts with peace and joy each day as we journey through this parenting thing.
EITHER!!! I WOULD LOVE THIS FOR ME AND MY SON[:
Limitless Life series – I definitely need help in this area!
Either, the area I need growth in is letting go!
The book! I feel that Mommy guilt all the time!
Limitless Life! 🙂 This is definitely an area where I need to grow!
I would prefer the book.
First of all, thank you so much for this opportunity and offer, and for sharing your ministry with us. I always look forward to reading your blogs in my email inbox! As for this offer, although they are both awesome gifts, for me I would love the “No more perfect kids” book for a few different reasons. As a mom who is still struggling with her own perfectionism (or lack thereof), and now have been so very blessed by the gifts of raising our boy/girl twins, I find it a constant struggle to not project that perfectionistic personality trait onto them…especially because for me anyway, ever since they were born I learned to parent in such an organized, structured way. I want to truly LEARN each of my children… Learn what they love, who God created them to be, nurture their passions and creativity… I don’t want my anxieties to squelch the fire that God has placed in their hearts or spirits. I want us all to enjoy this time in our lives and have pleasant memories, while I leave room for God to continue molding the beautiful masterpieces that my children already are.
Thank you again for this opportunity and God bless you and your ministry!
Just as carpenters use measuring devices to mark sure each pieces fits, we measure ourselves by our own self-induced standards. Thank you for your reminder that the Cross frees us to live by only one standard – our loving, holy God’s!
Can’t wait for book/seminar.
Thanks for sharing.
Limitless Life is the book for me! I so need to Let go and let God! I struggle as a Christian mom, needing everything perfect…
I’d love to win the books! I need to live in the freedom of Christ and not continually live in the shadow of last sins.
I would like the book to share with my daughter. I feel it will help her deal with the struggles she is going through with her children. Thank you!
I am interested in the conference calls. I struggle with guilt and shame from my past. It has taken away my freedom to live without fear and anxiety.
I would love to win the parenting book, the stress we put on ourselves to be “perfect” moms is crazy..
I need to learn to let go of mommy guilt!
Book please. I need more freedom in following what God wants me to do instead of other people. Loved your no more perfect moms book – can’t wait to read no more perfect kids ( have 3 kids, 6, 8 and 11) thanks!
Either – I would appreciate either giveaway! As a single mom who’s also an entrepreneur, I understand the challenges of wanting to have a “perfect” child while also figuring out your purpose in life… I am learning each day that God speaks to me in a variety of ways – and through different channels. Should He chose to use either channel to reach me (the conference calls or the books), then I am open… Speak Lord, Your servant is listening… Blessings!
