A special Independence Day broadcast from Basic Gospel. - - I love the 4th of July. It's a wonderful experience for us as Americans that enjoy this freedom everyday. This certainly isn't true in many parts of the world. But on a much deeper level there are many who are looking for freedom in their souls. Jesus told us, "the truth will set us free". We want to experience freedom and that freedom comes through Jesus and His teachings.

• This broadcast is prerecorded and aired at 3:00 and 3:30pm central time.

In my life one of the things that was so detrimental was my self-image. It was a bondage. It was the grace of God that allowed my to let go of what people thought of me and take hold of what God had for me.
