A Timeless Pathway To Living Free
The Problem We Face
You tried.
You listened to what the 'Bible says' and did—or even led—what’s been labeled church. But you never found freedom that felt like… freedom—the “peace that surpasses all understanding” (Phil 4:7). Frustrated, you stepped away—only to feel alone or circling back to what you knew, haunted by the fear that maybe you were the problem.
But deep down, you’ve always had this sneaky suspicion: This isn’t freedom.
For too long, following Jesus has been sold as a high-stakes transaction—a relentless project of self-improvement or self-loathing. At the center of it all is the mythical god of expectations—the one who requires transformation, world-fixing, or the right words to grant His presence.
In one camp, you’re given tips and tools to become the ideal self and build the ideal society for God. In the other, you’re crushed under the weight of showing your gratitude to a God who, they say, had to kill His own Son just to be near you. Either way, you never find relief in the God who came to reveal that He’s always loved you, always been with you, and will never leave you.
So how do you start living—and keep living—in the freedom faith was always meant to bring?
The Freedom We Forgot
At Lark, we believe humans are free (Gal 5:1). But that freedom is hard to find—and even harder to live.
For centuries, “The church has spent so much time instilling us with the fear of making mistakes that it has made us feel like ill-taught piano students. We play our pieces, but we never hear the tune… The one thing we need most is the ability to take our freedom seriously and act on it, to live not in fear of mistakes, but in the knowledge that no mistake can hold a candle to the love that draws us home.” — Robert Capon
That’s the truth buried beneath the god of expectations—the truth Jesus revealed: Faith was never about becoming someone God is waiting on. It’s about trusting in who Jesus already is for you—right where you are.
But conditioned to mistrust this liberating news, we keep circling back to old systems, old fears, and old ways of thinking—unsure of what faith looks like beyond what has become church.
Seeing this play out time and time again, we spent the last decade uncovering a timeless pathway to living free. Unlike another spiritual program built around the project of self, it’s a way to retrain our eyes, minds, and hearts in the simple way of faith—one that aligns with how humans actually learn.
A Pathway To Living Free
1. See the God of Grace
The freedom Jesus lived in came through the faith He had in the Father. Likewise, the freedom we crave starts with seeing the Father the way Jesus did. Turns out He's not a distant taskmaster. He’s grace itself, offering rest to the weary and acceptance without conditions. When you see Him for who He is, you’ll start to see yourself—and everyone else—differently too. To that end, check out the first video in our free series: A Pathway To Living Free.
2. Understand the Life God’s Given You
The life Jesus revealed isn’t one of building resumes or fixing the world. It’s about participation in the life of the Trinity—a life marked by joy, connection, and unshakable belonging. This is the life you’ve already been given—one known as the life of grace. Understanding that changes everything, allowing faith to actually mean faith, and transformation to be true change. To that end, check out the second video in our free series: A Pathway To Living Free.
3. Embrace How You Learn to Live Free
Running through our veins is a timeless spirit of self-reliance, fueling an endless addiction to self-justification. Finding freedom from this drug doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s learned through unhurried conversations of grace, not endless consumption of content. It’s an ongoing process where curiosity leads to growth and friendship reveals truths that programs can’t. To learn more, check out the third video in our series: A Pathway To Living Free.
4. Walk by Faith in Who Jesus Is for You
Faith is a free-fall into the arms of Jesus. It’s about walking through life with open hands, relying on who He already is for us, not what we're seeing. This step invites you to use what we call the "Adam Alarm" to let go of the striving God has no interest in, and embrace the freedom found in a life lived in dependence on who Jesus already is for you. To that end, check out this written piece about practicing faith in the everyday flow of life.
5. Go Be a Friend Who Helps Others Live Free
Freedom isn’t just for you. It’s meant to spill over into the lives of others. Not as a task to complete for a God who needs us, but as a means for living free. Turns out Jesus, knowing how humans truly learn, invited us all to go be a friend who shows up, listens, and offers relief in open-ended conversations that meet people where they are. To see why this matters, check out this written piece on how sharing stories is better than listening to sermons.
As you may have seen, this pathway isn’t another checklist of tasks—it’s a way to simplify faith to what Jesus actually revealed. If the freedom He offers is what you're longing for, start with the first video. Don't have a free account yet? Use the link below.
