Many times people feel that healing from the terrible lies about God’s heart is all that’s needed for a person to shift their focus and begin life in the Wild. Many people find that they have to also weed out the positive lies they’ve been indoctrinated with. We have been taught to approach our relationship with God with expectations in our minds as to what fulfillment in christ will look and feel like when it happens. Those expectations and directly related to false information we are all told in the original sales pitch of Christianity. Shedding that stuff is key to living free in the wild.   Darin and Amy talk about how the residue from our past religious experience can come in many different forms.

The three discuss how the level of freedom that a Free Believer experiences in their heart is directly associated and fueled by the level of pain and bondage they came from before they discovered grace. This is a two part challenging discussion that will make you rethink some of your former opinions on the subject of suffering. Could it be that we actually needed the bondage we came from in order to appreciate the freedom we now have?

The teachings that suggest that men should only hang out with me and women should only be friends with women are stifling and oppressive. Living in the wild has with it a wonderful restoration of true relationship regardless of the sex of the person. Men have also been confused by institutional teachings on what “manhood” is all about. Modern day Christianity has feminized men and has taken away their strength and will to be themselves.   Darin and Robert talk about how the institutional church has contorted the lines of relationship between men and women to the point where it’s nearly impossible to have any productive or normal relationship with a member of the opposite sex.

The conversation turns to the question of whether or not the FULL grace message can be preached without compromise in an institutional setting. Both Darin and Robert come to the conclusion that grace must be grown in soil that is not contaminated with forced doctrine. So many times, well meaning preachers and teachers attempt to dictate when, where and how an individual receives revelation from God. Grace is a revelation that must come from the Holy Spirit in a timing that is perfect for the individual receiving it.

We all have a vague, impossible to reach picture of what we should look like, but we never stop to analyze whether or not that picture is even obtainable or real. With so many teachings in Christianity that praise a low self image it can sometimes be next to impossible to embrace the real self within us without purposefully seeking out imperfections and fault at every turn. Self esteem is EVERYTHING in the journey of life. Breaking free from the rut of self loathing is absolutely essential to living a healthy life in the wild.

Many Free Believers find that after leaving an institution that regularly taught them to believe that their hearts were deceptive, it can take a lifetime trust themselves once again. Building inner confidence even feels prideful and wrong to many of us but having a healthy self esteem is absolutely imperative. Self loathing has become more than a habit in our thinking. It has become an epidemic among Christians that has taken the very life that Christ came to give us. The heart of the Father is to see us confident and secure in ourselves. How we feel about ourselves means more to the Father then almost anything. Darin and Amy talk about how the Christian religion has taught us that self esteem and confidence are the same as pride.

We must never forget that ALL truth is born from the revelation of God’s love for us. The FBN can be summed up in three words; “God is Love.” It is from within the fire and substance of THAT ONE TRUTH that everything we do and teach is derived. The Free Believer message is NOT “You don’t need to go to an institutional church.” The Free Believers message is “GOD IS LOVE.” Everything else is secondary and sadly there are people who mistake the secondary stuff to be the actual revelation. Nothing we believe or do will ever make sense until it is viewed through the lens of “GOD IS LOVE.” Darin and Aimee discuss how easy it is for the revelation of God’s heart to become secondary to the millions of other teachings that spring forth in Christianity.

The most exciting thing about becoming a Free Believer is the renewed vision that comes from shedding ourselves of dogmatic teachings and self righteous rituals. It turns out that God’s beauty and presence can be seen in just about everything. Amazingly, we can even learn about His heart from people and things that don’t have the Christian emblem flashing all over it. If we have a heart after Him, we will see Him in everything. Having the freedom to see the heart of God in places that were formerly off limits is one of the most beautiful things about living in the wild.

Autistic children typically cannot be reached by anything from the outside world because they’re lost within themselves. The very signs of this disorder are many times mistakenly cherished by the parents as personality characteristics rather then characteristics of autism. Modern day Christians are many times bombarded with impossible behavioral expectations and they find it easier to retreat within themselves into a state of unreachability.

Embracing freedom in all areas of life is what makes creativity and exploration real and vibrant. One of the greatest freedoms that we have as Christians is the freedom to be who we really are at all times. Understanding full acceptance and Agape love from the Father breeds a realness and transparency in each of us that is imperative to our survival.

Many Free Believers have gotten into the habit of throwing out everything that looks like, feels like or tastes like tradition. It’s easy for us to believe that anything tradition is wrong. Some things became tradition and some things were born tradition. Finding the difference and embracing the power of real traditions is important and powerful. Free Believers in the wild can and should find what traditions are helpful and good. This is a subject that has been overlooked by many of us.

Everyone moves at their own spiritual pace, so when we manipulate other people’s growth, we are actually inducing labor in the Spirit and the results are devastating. Then the conversation takes a turn to how this principal applies the Free Believers world. Many times Free Believers pressure people in the church system to get up and leave, years before they are ready. Leaving the institutional christian system is a process that is different in everyone’s life. It’s important that as Free Believers we commit ourselves to patience and understanding. Each person grows at a different pace and whether or not they ever leave that religious system is between them and God.

This is a great talk about how we raise our children to be people with hope and something to look forward too. What is the essence of walking in the Spirit? Sometimes we can find ourselves going through all the motions in an effort to rekindle the Spirit of excitement in our lives. The key is not necessarily to recreate what you did last year, but to create something new out of the Spirit of Christmas you have in you today.

The institutional church has taught us that we need to be totally dependent on God for everything. Real spirituality is a picture of a an unborn child in the womb, still needing the mother for food, blood, oxygen and life. Growing in our spirituality cannot happen until the cord from mother has been cut. For many people getting to a point of maturity seems wrong because it goes against everything they’ve been taught in church.

Getting to the point where we don’t worry about things like our purpose, our inner healing and our spiritual growth is a freeing place to be. It’s nice to know that God has set everything up in our lives to run by itself without our having to monitor it minute by minute.

Sometimes it’s easy to not see beyond the immediate freedom we experience when we swallow the message of love and grace. That immediate freedom has such a light and easy feeling that it’s easy to think that, that is what it’s all about. The truth is that our freedom continues to grow in every level of life and the longer we live in the wild, the more we begin to see how many areas of our lives are yet to be free. The freedom to finally be ourselves and to explore the depth of that is perhaps the most exciting prospect yet.

The purpose behind Bo’s Cafe is truly astounding and perhaps a first. Rather than just talk about Grace, Bo’s Cafe was meant to show the reader how Grace actually plays out in the context of daily life. It gives a picture of Grace in action.

Many well meaning people keep quiet because they are afraid that their imperfections will somehow hinder the message when it comes from their lips. The Message of God’s love and Grace stands on it’s own. It doesn’t rely on our sinless behavior to validate it’s power. It’s power comes from God and Him alone.

There is a danger in comparison thinking that can steal your very soul if you don’t stand up and shout out your own language. http://www.FreeBelievers.com/upload/podcasts/20091118104253.mp3 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500 Christian, Darin Hufford, god, love, glory of god, light of world, church, hijack, tradition, church universal, business of church, church business, cross, begging for money, graduate from church, fellowship, gathering together, tradition Free Believers Network Panel Darin and Aimee talk about the difference between delivering information and laying down your very soul. The Free Believer message about God’s love is not a separate topic or thing that is reserved for conversation or debate when the time is right. When we become one with this message it is the essence of us that we are presenting to people. We need to never take this lightly. The message within us must be protected and nurtured. Deciding who to bring it too is as important as deciding who to marry. It’s that personal. Darin and Aimee talk about the difference between delivering information and laying down your very soul.

This is perhaps the number one reason why so many in the Church today cannot conceive of this message of a loving God. The three provide insight into the mystery revealed in the New Testament and how the knowledge gained through Christ was meant to explain and interpret God's actions before Christ. Because of fear however, Christians tend to abandon the "God is love" message when reading the OT stories and the moment they do, they are left without answers, and with no choice but to second guess their Father's heart. You'll really enjoy this talk because it opens up a world of freedom for people living in the wild.
