0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.
0:05.0	Where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	I'm Tanya Wilmoth.
0:17.0	It's probably not something we think about very often. But what are the ways you exercise your freedoms on a daily basis?
0:22.0	Do you read or listen to what you want or what you like in the

1:36.4	like to be a person truly freed by the son? Jesus was speaking to people in this chapter who didn't know what freedom as
1:44.8	citizens of a government felt like. They identified with the heavy yoke of
1:49.6	being under the watchful eye of a system that tolerated them at best, hated them at worst,

2:01.6	position in life.
