Relaxed and Free: Recent Episodes
Cary Corley
A Clinically Minded, Biblically Based, Counseling Podcast.
Galatians says it is "for freedom Christ has set us free", and we believe God is continually working this freedom out in the lives of those He loves. All so they can experience the peace that comes with being connected to God through Christ. The road to that freedom looks different for every person. Join us on a journey into the lives of fellow believers as they answer some of life's biggest questions. Be inspired as you hear real life stories of frustration, pain, hope, and ultimately freedom.
