Freedom Found - A Journey from Mormonism to Christianity: Linda Friedman's Story :: [Episode 344]

10/15/2025

Today, we are excited to kick off a three-week series of stories, entitled "Religion to Relationship" with Jesus Christ.

Linda Friedman, from our Raleigh, North Carolina community, shares her powerful journey of growing up in Taiwan with a Taoist and Buddhist foundation, how her upbringing led her to search for community and happiness within the Mormon church, and ultimately how Jesus opened her eyes to the truths of Who He is. This is a story of God's pursuing love and His desire for every child to discover the rest and freedom found only in Him.

_______________________________________________________________________________

VERSE OF THE WEEK:

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

Jesus didn't call you to perform. He called you to rest in Him. How can you experience His rest this week?
