Well, happy Monday, everybody. Thanks for joining us on the Daily Drive. My name is Bro, and we've been

walking through some one-on-one encounters that Jesus had with various people.

And I hope these are helping you see the heartbeat that God has for people, how he longs to do life with all of us.

And as we look at the way that Jesus treats people and meets them where they are, my hope is that all of us would look at Jesus and say,

I want to be more like that guy. We've already seen him as the resurrection and the life.

We've seen him as the living water.

We felt the power of his compassionate touch.

Last week, we watched him stand in amazement at the faith of a Roman commander.

And today, we're going to see that Jesus is a chain breaker.

Now, when I talk about chains, I'm talking about anything that has a firm grip on a person's life.

Something that keeps you and me stuck.

Something that keeps us from experiencing true freedom.

I don't know, but you might be in bondage to fear, anxiety, shame, or guilt.

Or maybe it's perfectionism or codependency or maybe some deep-seated

anger that has you all locked up. Perhaps if you're honest, alcohol has become an uncontrollable problem

for you. Or maybe it's drugs or gambling or some kind of eating disorder. Perhaps you're in the grip

of porn or some kind of sexual addiction. Maybe bitterness has a hold on you. You can't let go.
