The Map of Freedom is a diagram of the steps and the process through which we can gain when we reclaim our makeup as God predesigned us. The steps and growth set us free to give our gifts, trust outcomes to God, walk in integrity, and lead well. (See The Map of Freedom in Free Resources) The process of growth can overcome toxic shame, false rules, imposed roles, and survival scripts that block a person from being and doing who and what God designed them to be and do. The Map of Freedom is not so much about learning something as returning to something. We return to how we are made, then we learn to use what we have “rediscovered.” We return to stewarding how God made us before we steward what God has given us the opportunity to do. What is the benefit or payoff? By returning to our origins: We remember what it is like to hope and believe how “things in life could be,” instead of always focusing on what “things have turned into.” We are defeated less and risk more. We can picture how the world is meant to be and work towards that. We truly see the “glass as half full,” while dealing in the reality that we do indeed live in a broken place where “hearts break and people die.” The result is that the reawakened heart brings light to dark places with faith; creative solutions to destructive problems with hope; wisdom to struggles that seem unfathomable; and courage to places of danger. The child grows into the man or woman that God designed instead of what the world molded. The third movement of the Map of Freedom is “Give You” To “give you” follows by its very nature and order what occurs when a person returns to how God created us to live fully, love deeply, and lead well by doing so in relationship with our own hearts, the hearts of others, and the heart of God.

Arriving at the “places” that The Map guides a person toward, takes a person from hearing about something to experiencing something. It is the difference between hearing about the giant Sequoia trees and the experience of standing beneath one. As stated in the last show notes, the journey requires many switchbacks; is often slow; and takes a lifetime. We all hope to be able be productive in life and live fully until we die. We all wish to have an impact for good, unless something is terribly impaired about a person. We live fully with impact by being able to give; having trust in God with the outcomes; having integrity; and leading well. The result is freedom. But this freedom isn’t free. We must walk, work, and persevere with an image in mind and the heart involved to pull us forward every day. The beginning steps of “get you” and “be you” Get you: Recognize, reclaim, and learn the makeup and purpose of being a feeling, needing, desiring, longing, and hoping creature, who is created to find fullness of life in relationship. Relational connection that affirms and confirms one’s makeup supports a sense of belonging and mattering in a person. Click here to continue reading the episode highlights for this episode.
