4 Fragile Freedoms

Starting Sunday, July 5th

At the heart of our Baptist identity is one word: Freedom.

The freedom to think.
The freedom to question.
The freedom to worship.
The freedom to walk by faith with integrity of conscience.

For centuries, Baptists were champions of freedom—frequently misunderstood, often persecuted, but always uncompromising in their conviction that the only authentic faith was one free of manipulation or coercion.

From pulpits to prison cells…from crowded sanctuaries to hidden gatherings…they cultivated and defended four particular freedoms that empowered churches, shaped democracies, and guarded the God-given dignity of the human soul.

But these freedoms don’t thrive on memory alone.
Every new generation must REnew its devotion to practice and preserve them, lest they be distorted, diluted, or dissolved altogether.

This series explores the Four Fragile Freedoms of the Baptist experience—Soul Freedom, Bible Freedom, Church Freedom, and Religious Freedom—and why they matter now more than ever.

Because “…God wants FREE worshippers…and no other kind.” ~George W. Truett
