At the heart of the gospel is the idea of freedom. So, what does it mean to be truly free?
In this episode, we had the great pleasure of talking with Fr. Jacques Philippe, the author of one of our absolute favorite books, Interior Freedom. Joining us all the way from France, Fr. Philippe unpacks how true freedom, consenting to reality, is quite counterintuitive to our human perception that freedom is the ability to choose whatever we want. Freedom is not the ability to shape reality as we choose, but rather the acceptance that our loving heavenly Father is using all things for our good. The obstacles to consenting to reality are many, because we often find ourselves, others, and the world to be unacceptable and burdensome. We talk with Father Philippe about how God’s “realistic” love helps us to accept ourselves, sinners though we be, and about how this love frees us up to accept others too.
It’s a wonderful conversation and we pray that you are blessed with true interior freedom as you come to know how much Jesus loves you!
