    250: The Illusion of Freedom - Is Life Without God Really Free?
    Sep 19 2024
    Show Notes:: When you talk to folks about Christianity, you often hear complaints that they don't want to follow a God that has a bunch of rules and regulations and makes people "not live their truth." You also hear from folks who walk away from the faith say that they are like a butterfly — they finally are free from their tightly bound cocoon and can fly free in the world. You also hear folks say that the fear of judgment is just Christian's ways of control people's lives and causing guilt and shame when there shouldn't be. But is this indeed true? In this week's episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc Hyde and Chris Fuller sit down to discuss the difference between the world's version of freedom and what true freedom looks like. Grab your Bible and join in. //Resources Used In This Episode// https://www.cnn.com/2015/01/08/opinion/bell-god-atheism/index.html https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/popular-writings/existence-nature-of-god/the-absurdity-of-life-without-god //Other Episode You Might Enjoy// 060: How Should We Study the Bible? - Real Talk Christian Podcast 078: Focus: The World, The Kingdom, & The Balance - Real Talk Christian Podcast 086: The Catechism of Communion - Real Talk Christian Podcast 098: Should We Study the Creeds? - Real Talk Christian Podcast 104: Salvation: Old Testament vs. New Testament - Real Talk Christian Podcast // Helpful Links // https://www.youtube.com/@realtalkchristianpodcast The Christian Standard Bible: https://bit.ly/3rulKqi Lifeway Christian Resources: https://bit.ly/3qka4Wv Got Questions?: https://bit.ly/3vSMJfq Dwell Bible App: https://bit.ly/3zUYq8E Cross Formed Kids from Ryan Coatney: https://bit.ly/3h19isZ RTC Quick Links: https://linktr.ee/realtalkchristianpodcast RTC Online: www.realtalkchristianpodcast.com Twin Valley Coffee: https://www.coffeehelpingmissions.com Revive festival : Music Festival | En Gedi Music Fest | Leonidas, MI (myrevivefest.com) Toccoa Coffee:https://toccoacoffee.com RTC Merch-https://rtcpodcast.redbubble.com
