As the dogwoods begin to bloom here in Nashville, Gabe and Rebekah are leaning into a conversation that sits at the very heart of our emotional and spiritual health.

In this episode, they sit down with their friend and author Jennifer Barnett, Executive Director of Freedom Prayer. Jennifer shares her raw and beautiful journey—from her days as a college student battling intense anxiety and fear to now stewarding a global ministry focused on inner healing and restoration. Together, they dive into why prayer is a vital rhythm of discipleship that allows us to disclose our hearts to the Father and find the freedom we were made for.

Whether you are navigating unholy lines in your family history or looking to build a more intentional prayer culture in your home and church, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for finding peace in the midst of spiritual warfare.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The Origin of Freedom Prayer: How an engineer’s mind gave structure to a model for inner healing and spiritual formation.
• Breaking the Grip of Fear: Jennifer’s personal story of moving from spiritual torment to the expectant peace found in Christ.
• Identifying the Hindrances: How to recognize the blocks and entanglements that keep us from a mature relationship with God.
• Prayer as Discipleship: Why the next generation is rediscovering the power of the spiritual realm in an increasingly dark culture.
• Building a Team: How your local church and community can be equipped to support couples walking through seasons of crisis.
