[Podcast] Episode 279: Finding Freedom in the Fragments with Tullian Tchividjian

What happens when your life falls apart and you're left with only fragments? In this episode of the AVAIL podcast, author and pastor Tullian Tchividjian opens up about his public crash and the deep, uncomfortable work of recovery that followed. Discussing his new multi-sensory book, Fragments of Freedom, Tullian explains how hitting rock bottom transformed his theological understanding of grace into a functional lifeline. This conversation is an invitation to stop pretending, take off the mask of behavior modification, and discover the radical freedom that comes from being brutally honest about our brokenness while standing securely on God's unconditional love.
