Be free from toxic mindsets, destructive patterns of behavior, and lies that keep you bound.
The truth behind seven little words changed Dawn Scott Damon’s life when she heard a man from a small country church sing “I am who He says I am!” Her life was transformed as she began to believe what God’s Word says about who she is in Christ, and she started her journey out of betrayal, abandonment, and deception.
She shares compelling truths in a sixty-day interactive Bible study that identifies and confronts eight cords that keep many believers bound. These practical and powerful biblical tools are designed to give you a new mindset, a fresh beginning, and a clear direction for a positive future.
Take the Freedom Challenge and become an active participant in your own emotional and spiritual transformation. Through a guided, intentional, and interactive daily process of putting God’s Word into practice, the strongholds of destructive and bondage-making behavior in your life can be broken. Choose to take that first step to live free from deceptive self-talk, fear, depression, toxic mindsets, and debilitating lies, among others.
Thought-provoking questions, journaling space, confessions, and affirmations are included to help guide you toward freedom.
My Review
The Freedom Challenge is a really great every day devotional for women who feel trapped in one way or another. I think we all do to some degree in some way at some time or another in our lives as Christians. The daily devotional is short and really helps you meditate on Scripture, and even includes a Scripture to memorize here and there. The author looks at topics like depression, fear, emotions, and more and I feel it was very relatable and good even for the non-reader looking for a women's devotional. The devotional is Scripture centric and that's always important. The book also does not downplay the reality of like anxiety, depression, etc. as a true clinical issue that may need medical attention. I think this devotional would be easy to do even for the busy career woman/mom on a daily basis and really is thought provoking. Overall, the book seemed to be on point, but like any book that dives into theology, I can't say I agreed with every point made in the book. So check this one out if you're looking for an easy to read, interactive Bible study on breaking barriers in your life!!
I received a complimentary copy of this book, and all opinions given are entirely my own.

More from Dawn
As a little girl, I can remember singing in church with all my heart “Blessed Be the Ties That Bind.” Those ties that bind our hearts to one-another in love and to Jesus himself, are indeed blessed. But what about ties that aren’t blessed? Hi I’m Dawn and I’m super glad you stopped by today! I’m a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. At 19 years old, I became a wife and very soon after, a mother. After years of abuse, I was also a victim of rage and bitterness. The childhood sexual trauma was over, but the abuse aftermath—anger, pain, and depression—continued to destroy me. The cords of unwanted bondage choked joy and life out of me. Today, I live fierce and free and serve as a freedom-coach to help others do the same. I’ve been on a journey for over 25 years, seeking God’s freedom through his truth and learning how to empower others to do the same. The Freedom Challenge: 60-Days to Untie the Cords that Bind You, is the map God gave me to find my way out of bondage, and now I’m sharing it with you! I pray you will also experience God’s glorious deliverance. And now some fun facts about me: I have a wonderful husband named Paul. Together we pastor a church called Tribes—but here’s the deal, he’s the “Pastor’s Spouse,” not me. I am a grandma of 11! It’s the awesomest—a word I use to describe it! I especially like what my grandson Colton calls me…Jam’ma. I love animals—all kinds—and I’ve determined there are absolutely no germs in dog kisses. I also have to admit, I adore anything that glitters or sparkles and someday hope to have a bling store. Lastly, I love Jesus and I still sing my heart out in church!Blog Stops
