What is the Freedom Experience? The Freedom Experience is a weekend where young adult girls from the ages of 18-25 come to learn and experience what true freedom is in Jesus Christ. I believe one of the purposes in my life is to teach people how to live with Jesus Christ on a daily basis, looking through the pages of his life, in the Bible and applying them as a compass for our individual lives.

As a preacher’s daughter, I didn’t know how to live with Jesus. I knew he loved me but I couldn’t be perfect enough, good enough, smart enough, pretty enough or kind enough to think the God of the universe would love someone so unworthy, like me.

The unconditional love of Jesus, his grace and mercy is what draws a person to know him better. But first we must understand what his grace, mercy and love looks like for us personally. Our vision of who Jesus is gets so distorted through man’s philosophy or denominational preference we lose sight of why Jesus died on the cross in the first place. We must go beyond having the knowledge of who Jesus is to having a greater understanding that Jesus is a personal God who is madly in love with his creation, you. During this weekend it is my desire that each person come to understand Jesus’ love for them in a way they have never experienced him before.

There are 7 sessions during this freedom weekend.
