Finding Freedom Part Four - Making a Cho...

Brendan Gotta
About this episode

Welcome to the fourth and final episode of the Finding Freedom Podcast Series!

In partnership with Exodus 90, this special four-part series has explored how to break free from distractions and idols to live as sons and daughters of God. Together, we’ve uncovered the beauty of true freedom and the steps we can take to embrace the life Christ offers us.

In this episode—Part Four of our series—we’re focusing on Fraternity: The Journey and Making a Choice.

I’m joined by Adam Minihan, a husband, father, and passionate leader who understands the transformative power of brotherhood in the spiritual journey. Adam brings personal insights and practical advice on how fraternity and community support can help men grow in holiness and freedom.

Summary

The Power of Fraternity

Adam shares how fraternity is central to the Exodus 90 experience, providing men with a supportive community that holds them accountable and strengthens their resolve to grow closer to God. Fraternity equips men to resist Satan’s attacks by offering them a brotherhood committed to the same ideals.

Accountability and Spiritual Growth

We discuss how accountability is a cornerstone of spiritual growth for both men and women. Adam explains how the fraternity model of Exodus 90 creates a safe space for men to practice vulnerability, detachment, and reliance on God.

Stories of Transformation

We highlight inspiring stories of men who have experienced profound transformation through the fraternity model of Exodus 90. These stories demonstrate the unique strength that comes from walking the path to freedom alongside a supportive community.

Making the Choice

Exodus 90 is a challenging program that requires a deliberate choice to commit. Adam shares practical steps for men to take the first step toward freedom and encourages women to support their husbands, boyfriends, or brothers in this journey.

Key Discussion Points

  • Fraternity provides a foundation of accountability and support, helping men resist Satan’s attacks and stay on the path to freedom.
  • Community is vital for spiritual growth, not just for men but for women as well.
  • Vulnerability and detachment, discussed in previous episodes, thrive within a supportive brotherhood.
  • Satan thrives on isolation; fraternity combats this by fostering connection and mutual support.
  • Transformation is possible for everyone—men and women alike—as they journey toward freedom and holiness.

Call to Action

Men: Take the next step toward freedom by joining Exodus 90 and experiencing the strength of fraternity.
