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 would like to win FREE to Live a Limitless Life in Christ.
My first 1 yr and 7 months since my husbands death my faith was strong and I talk to god several times a day. I went to church when I did not have to work , and I worked with seniors to give back. Now I have quit my caregiver job because I need to make more money to save my house. When I have large expenses God always provides a way for me to survive. The problems I have face have made me weary and although I pray that God will stay with me I have drifted a bit. That is not to say I have lost my belief . Igo to a church that really does not make me feel welcome, even though I love the message, therefore have miss church allot lately. I really need a new church. I read my bible but some nights I feel I do not understand what I have read. These confrence is just what I need. Thank you!
I would love to read the book. I often fall into the trap of perfectionism which affects me as a mom and my expectations of my child’s behavior.
Would love to win the limitless life one! It seems to fit right where I am stuck since the deth of my father. Thanks for the chance.
Book please. I was looking back through my prayer journal this weekend and noticed that since 2007 I have been praying/struggling with the same thing. Taking/finding time to enjoy being with my kids. I feel like its always a battle with them and never any fun…..part of it is me and my attitude…which I know and pray about…and have been since at least 2007.
Limitless Life, need to release myself from years of bad labels!
EITHER!! Both are powerful messages! I would be blessed to win either.
I”D love to WIN the LIMITLESS LIFE. Great stuff.
either
Renee, I am a mother of 5 and Grammy of 18 who was brought up Jewish: I found Jesus almost 7 years ago, and have been so close to the Holy Spirit in my walk with God, and all of your books and publications have been so endearing to me. I still have 2 daughters who have 7 children between them who are non-believers who I need to help “find their way” to the beauty of Lord and His Word, and I would either love to get your books or attend your conferences to assist me in that quest. Either way, your assistance is greatly appreciated, and I will seek them on my own if I do not win! God bless you, Renee!
Oh how I would truly appreciate books!)
I need help I all areas, how do I pick just one… my spirit, my lack of teaching capabilities, patience, family growth…
thank you for your encouragement and either have a great day
I am having open heart surgery in 5 weeks, a book would be a blessing to pass the recovery time and keep me going.
I would love to receive the conference calls. I am a wife, mother of two very busy sports kids (on the road constantly), full time accountant, photographer by hobby, and the list goes on…
Always trying to find balance and let God rule and reign in my heart and in my life. What we put into our mind and hearts, it comes out in our lives.
Book! It would be so freeing to not worry about anyone’s expectations except for what God wants from me and my parenting.
Book please 🙂
Either. Would be a blessing.
I would feel blessed with either, but I think I struggle more with mom guilt.
Either. The area I struggle the most in is making God my first decision in everything!!!
No More Perfect Kids please! With soon to be 3 and 5 year olds and my oldest a VERY strong-willed child, I need guidance on how to give them AND myself more grace, and accept that “less than perfect” truly is ok.
I would feel bless to win either. I want to be free of expecations of others and also expectations I put on myself. Thank you
