Made To Be Free is a Podcast created by Jamie Taylor and Mckinsey Swain, two friends who love to chat about their journey toward living in freedom.
In this episode, we explore environmental wellness from a biblical lens.
What is Occupational wellness through the biblical lens? Whether you're in the workplace, managing a home, building a business and/or in a season of transition, God has a plan for how you use your time and talents. We'll talk about setting healthy boundaries and what to do when rest just isn't enough.
Intellectual wellness isn't just about gaining knowledge, it's about seeking Godly wisdom. I think most of us agree that we don't have an information problem right now, but we may struggle with how that information affects our thoughts and words and making our minds feel unwell and unsettled. We discuss the difference between worldly knowledge and biblical wisdom and allowing the Holy Spirit to guard our minds against deception.
Money is one of the most talked-about topics in the Bible, yet it’s often a significant source of stress, fear, and even conflict. In this episode, we explore Financial Wellness through a biblical lens—what it means to surrender our finances to God, trust in His provision, and break free from a scarcity mindset.
Relationships are one of life’s greatest blessings, and biggest challenges. From friendships and family to marriage and community, we often carry unrealistic expectations, seek validation, or hold onto hurt. In this episode, we’re exploring Relational Wellness through a biblical lens. How to surrender our relationships to God, embrace selfless love, set healthy boundaries, and find freedom when Christ is at the center.
The world says, “Follow your heart”, but what if our feelings lead us away from God’s truth? In this episode, we’re breaking down emotional and mental wellness from a biblical lens: how to take our thoughts captive, surrender our anxieties, and find lasting peace through Christ. True freedom isn’t found in controlling our emotions but in submitting them to the One who brings healing and clarity.
Back for episode #2 of our series on how we can view wellness from a Christian worldview, leaning into the teachings of the Bible for guidance. Spiritual wellness informs every area of our life, and we have been on a long and sometimes difficult journey to find freedom in this area. God is still working on us, but we wanted to share how we view freedom from the lens of spiritual wellness. Thank you for joining us!
In this episode we dive into the physical dimension of biblical wellness—what God says about caring for our bodies versus what society pressures us to believe. While the world promotes fleeting trends, quick fixes, and external appearances, Scripture calls us to steward our health as an act of worship, honoring the bodies God has given us.
We’ll explore how faith and wellness intersect, breaking free from guilt, shame, and unrealist...
In this episode, we get honest about a topic that’s shaped so much of our culture: politics. At one point in our lives, we both thought about running for office (and who knows, maybe God still has that in the cards). But along the way, we’ve learned that following Christ means putting politics in its proper place. It’s easy to let political beliefs take center stage, but as believers, our hope isn’t in a party or a policy. We hope ...
We understand that many things demand time and attention, but what do you do when they all feel equally important and urgent? How do we find peace in the maddness of our daily lives as we try to prioritize? These are all questions we answer in this episode. We are so glad you are here!
God's peace, when entirely accepted, will create a healthy mind. We talk about receiving God's peace and allowing it to renew our minds, even in difficult seasons in life—no matter the circumstances. We are so grateful you're joining us today!
A good and faithful walk with Jesus is a fully surrendered one. We talk about what that has meant in our lives and why it's essential to keep doing it, however imperfect it may look at times.
The Peace of God is our topic this week. We talk about how, even though hard seasons, it's available and waiting for our acceptance. Thank you for joining us as we start a new series!
So now that you know what purpose is, how do you get to yours? We took the windy and sometimes scenic one, but we don't regret it because it brought us here to talk with you all!
We dive into the sometimes illusive idea of purpose. That word gets thrown around in Christian circles, but we have some thoughts about it!
Do you find yourself saying, "I was never taught that," or "That's just how my family does it"? you might enjoy this episode. We talk about how accepting that we are a new creation in Christ and believing that we have everything we need, through the knowledge of our God, to live as He calls us. We don't need to be shackled by "old" ways. God is always doing a new thing and there is always a road back to Him in everything we do.
We know it's a sensitive subject, but we thought it was important to discuss during our "Why Am I Stressed" Series. So many people have experienced it (including us), and God has much to say about it. We are overcomers, and our God is so good. Listen as we share our personal stories and insight into healing and accepting freedom amid depression.
Did you know the majority of the population has experienced some form of anxiety? We talk about this unfortunately common feeling and how it has caused us stress. Let's untangle the emotions behind this and accept some freedom from this!
We confess that we used to think that being a perfectionist was having high standards until we realized what it indeed was. Join us as we talk about the pursuit of perfection and how it kept us in bondage for years.
Whether it is others' or our expectations of ourselves, they can cause us unnecessary stress when we don't align them with our faith. Join us as we share how we've learned to accept freedom from the expectations causing us stress.
