  • Inspiring

    As someone who went thru this process myself, it is good to hear from others to see the practical impact that God can have in not just forgiveness, but healing areas of your heart and soul as well.

  • Super encouraging podcast

    I’m so glad FICM created this podcast. The stories of people finding their freedom in Christ is so encouraging and the principles taught are Biblical. The testimonies are a reminder that we can all find our freedom in Christ.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Free to Face Our End: the Kerry Barkley Stories (Part 1 of 4)
Q: What role does God's nature play in Kerry's experience of redemption?
God's nature as loving, gentle, and present contrasts with human abuse; through Him, Kerry finds restoration and a sense that she is seen and valued, not defined by her trauma.
Free to Face Our End: the Kerry Barkley Stories (Part 1 of 4)
Q: How should someone who has experienced abuse approach God and Scripture?
They should come honestly, seek truthful information about God's character, and allow God to reveal Himself through Scripture rather than relying on misleading or broken narratives from others.
Free to Face Our End: the Kerry Barkley Stories (Part 1 of 4)
Q: What is the core message you want listeners to take away from your life story?
That no matter how hard, dark, or deep the pain is, God is big enough to redeem it, bring healing, and give joy even from the deepest wounds.
Freed to Flourish Together: Fruitful Conversations with Author Rod Woods (Part 4 of 4)
Q: So Rod, if you were to encourage leaders to read your book, what would you say to them? How would you encourage them to do that?
I would tell leaders that to be healthy they must think of their church as a unit, to disciple it corporately, recognize its personality, strengths, and weaknesses, and pursue unity as the engine for broader city impact. The books Freed to Lead and Freed to Flourish Together provide practical paths for building healthy leadership and healthier churches that effectively witness to their communities.
Free to Face Our End: the Kerry Barkley Stories (Part 4 of 4)
Q: Help us understand what you mean by that [end-of-life perspective], can you talk about that?
The process of facing death as a real, daily negotiation while grounded in faith shows that mortality shifts from a fear field to a framework for gratitude, planning, and deeper trust in God's plan, which changes how you live each moment.
