Testimony from Freedom View
A grace-filled space to listen... This is what my wife and I desperately needed during a crisis point in our life and ministry, not too long ago. We needed clear insight concerning some crucial questions we were wrestling with about our future calling. We needed to hear the Lord's strong and sensitive voice. God provided trusted mentors in Clint and Anna who listened and boldly led us to the safest of spaces - Jesus' gracious throne. Freedom View was that secure, yet vulnerable space for my wife and me to clearly see through God's written Word, together pour out our hearts to the Father, and intentionally listen to Him personally speak to us through His Spirit. All in the context of a trusted Christ-filled community. This was how God's freedom for us truly came into greater view - learning to look and listen to our only Liberator alongside gracious and gifted friends. We could not be more thankful for the freedom in Christ that Freedom View instills and advances in and through others!
It has been a busy summer for soul care at Freedom View. It is a privilege to watch God part the seas and draw people into deeper intimacy with Him. Thank you for praying for us and these precious people that entrust their care to us and ultimately Him. Thank you for supporting us through prayer and financial gifts!
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16
Forgiven to Forgive
Receiving Christ's Mercy and Reflecting It to One Another
Over the last few months, some voices in the Christian community have argued that forgiveness is no longer necessary in a Christian’s life. That concern is alarming to us at Freedom View because forgiveness is woven into the gospel itself, deeply connected to the unity Christ desires for His people, and one of the clearest ways the church reflects God’s mercy to the world. At Freedom View, we want to receive the forgiveness of Jesus with humble hearts and extend both grace and truth to one another in love. As we release bitterness, seek reconciliation, and practice healthy confrontation, the church becomes a clearer reflection of God’s mercy. Across our families, generations, cultures, and community, may our love for one another help others see Christ: “By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35). Forgiveness is not only a gift we receive from Christ; it is a grace we are invited to share so His mercy may be seen through us.
In the end, forgiveness is not a side issue for Christians; it is a sign of the gospel taking root and bearing fruit among us. Because we have been forgiven much by Christ, we can move forward with humility, courage, and love. This does not erase pain or pretend that wrongs do not matter, but it does remind us that bitterness does not get the final word—Jesus does. As Freedom View continues to grow as a ministry shaped by grace and truth, may we continue to be a place where healing is possible, reconciliation is pursued, and mercy is practiced with hope. At Freedom View, may our relationships, our witness, and our life together point others to the renewing love of Jesus.

Navigating Us Marriage Workshop
Raul & Karen Benitez, and Rick & Sue Huggler serve with Live the Life in San Antonio. They came to Flagstaff in partnership with Commissioned and Freedom View to present and coach us through the Navigating us marriage workshop. They blessed us with their expertise, wisdom and example in Marriage. Despite a power outage and a hot couple of days they persevered. With their guidance we learned how to strengthen our marriages through intentional communication, bonding and loving one another the way God intended.

Commissioned ...Therefore go and make disciples... Matt 28:19 https://www.commissionedinc.org/
The Young men’s group has been meeting on Monday evenings all summer. It is a blessing to see these men study the word, encourage one another, and sharpen their iron.
Joshua and Daniel are doing an excellent job discipling young men to abide in Christ, be doers of the Word, be leaders, defend the faith, walk in purity, honor, and integrity!
