Dependence vs Independence

Freely Given
09/17/20

It's easier to wrap our heads around independently performing for God, rather than understanding that as we were under the law, dying because it was to heavy for us, we couldn’t hold it, Christ set us free, completed the law…

Welcome to Freely Given, hosted by Gretchen Ronnevik and Katie Koplin.

Disappointing People

By Gretchen Ronnevik 08/07/20

Sometimes I think I've gone through the whole forgiveness process, but forgiveness for me often feels like I'm weeding my garden. I forgive and another offense pops up.

The Disruption of Liturgy

By Gretchen Ronnevik 04/14/20

I love the liturgy of my church, and ache for its full return. When all the world is changing, and everything is disrupted, what comes to mind is what is unchanging: the grace of God.

The Purpose of Rest

By Gretchen Ronnevik 03/24/20

The resistance to rest has nothing to do with hatred of naps and has everything to do with wanting control, and wanting a safety net outside of God.

Your Bible Reading Plan Won't Save You

By Gretchen Ronnevik 01/29/20

If I’m honest, I want that completed Bible reading plan more than I want grace.

The Offensive Law, and Salvation Without Regret

By Gretchen Ronnevik 01/09/20

Do not be afraid of seeing the depths of your depravity. Do not be offended, because the story doesn’t end there, and it’s completion is glorious.

The Moral of the Story

By Gretchen Ronnevik 09/17/19

We still think that if we just teach people to "be good" we are getting them closer to God, which is like saying if only this dead person could be propped up to exercise, he would start moving again.

Meditations

By Gretchen Ronnevik 07/25/19

The best synonym I can think of for Biblical meditation is "wonder." To meditate upon God's word is to wonder, as a child wonders at the stars.

This Is My Body, Broken For You

By Gretchen Ronnevik 05/28/19

My family fills a row of chairs in the sanctuary of our church. I always feel bad for the people who sit around my noisy family. Our pastor loves children and has told me once he struggles to preach on the Sundays when they are all whisked off to Children's Church after the music once a month because the sanctuary…

Giving Up For Lent

By Gretchen Ronnevik 03/05/19

Our church doesn’t talk a lot about giving up things for Lent. Lent seasons means we have Sunday night services as well, where we bring in speakers who talk about a different theme each year.

Bearing the Weight of Sin

By Gretchen Ronnevik 12/04/18

Do any of you have one of “those” kids? Every family should have at least one. They humble you.

If Only I Could...

By Gretchen Ronnevik 10/02/18

I love studying books on productivity and efficiency. I have a big family, and I have little people who depend on me and actually expect to eat every day.

Grace for When You Can't Forgive

By Gretchen Ronnevik 09/04/18

She was my friend, walking through marriage troubles. Her husband was unfaithful to her, with the technicalities and carefully drawn lines of “not technically sex” and justifying himself, which had wounded her deeply.

Carseats, Gluten, and Opinionated Bloggers

By Gretchen Ronnevik 08/06/18

Never has the law fallen so hard on me as in motherhood. Never before was I more aware that my best wasn’t good enough.
