4-Freedom Podcast exists to bring the message of Galatians 5:1, to those in the body of Christ that have been trapped in the legalism of the IFB. It is our goal to expose legalism, help those who may have been abused, encourage them to grow in God’s grace, and to accomplish all of these through the Word of God by expounding the Scriptures.

  • Seems hypocritical.

    I don’t get this podcast. Here’s some biblical advice on how to live your life, oh but please buy our cigars that will potentially kill you as well. Make it make sense.
