Summary
Freedom from the Law only comes by living in the grace of Christ. But what about the Law we create for ourselves? Is basing our wellbeing on self-imposed standards another form of slavery?

Rush Podcast is a production of Gather Ministries (https://www.gatherministries.com/), a non-profit organization led by Jennifer & Justin Camp. Through our five ministries, we equip men and women to encounter God in the every-day lives they're living. From Loop for Women, an email devotional focused on beauty & prayer, to WiRE for Men, an email devotional that helps men see life with God as the greatest adventure of all time, we hope we have something that matters to you.
