What if the biggest barrier to your freedom isn’t the world, but the religious systems you’ve trusted the most? That’s the heart of our conversation with Tom Snow, author of Set the Captives Free. His journey pulls back the curtain on something few want to discuss: how churches, traditions, and “discipleship movements” can quietly entrap sincere believers in patterns of control, guilt, and fear — all while convincing them they’re walking in truth.We talk about why so many Christians defend the very systems that keep them bound, the six psychological forces that make breaking free so hard, and how God often leads His people through painful “wilderness” seasons — not to punish them, but to heal them.Join the conversation! Bring your doubts, your questions, and your own stories of captivity and freedom.

What defines a successful life? Is it the size of your bank account, the strength of your faith, or the impact you leave behind? For Vic Baklayan, success came through resilience — surviving his family’s losses in Lebanon, starting over in America, and rebuilding through relentless work and unshakable faith. But his story raises a bigger question: what does success mean for you? This isn’t just about Vic’s journey. It’s about the choices we all face when life doesn’t go as planned — when faith collides with ambition, when setbacks force us to redefine what matters, and when we search for purpose in the chaos. Listen in, reflect, and share your thoughts. Because walking in “the Truth, the Way, and the Life” might look different for each of us — and that’s exactly where the conversation begins.
