Temporary Fixes vs. Real Freedom | John 8:32 with Ro Alford

John 8:32 says, “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” But what does that actually look like in real life? In today’s episode, Ash and Ro dive into the difference between temporary relief and true freedom, and how easily we fall for things that promise to make us feel better but don’t last.

Together, they talk about how God’s truth gives us stability in a world where “truth” feels subjective, how sin often disguises itself as freedom, and why understanding the why behind God’s Word changes everything. They also unpack why the Bible isn’t meant to be used like a “quick fix,” but a daily guide that shapes our choices, character, and clarity.

In this episode:

• Why “truth” feels subjective today — and how God anchors us

• How sin tricks us with temporary comfort

• The difference between knowing the truth and living it

• Why correction from trusted people is a gift, not a threat

• Practical steps to build your life on God’s truth

• How freedom comes from obedience, not impulse

• What to do when the Bible feels confusing or confronting

If you’re navigating temptation, confusion, or just craving clarity, this conversation is a reminder that God’s truth isn’t about restriction — it’s about real freedom, real peace, and a life that’s actually lighter to carry.
