Made for More

Jun 29 / Stephanie Tucker



How often do we find ourselves sitting in spaces we were never meant to occupy? Spaces of guilt, fear, striving, and shame—when we were created for rest, power, and purpose. We pour our energy into surviving rather than savoring the mighty presence of God and the sovereign purposes He’s designed for our lives. How can the Bible be true—and its power real—yet so many of us live lives marked by mediocrity at best, and bondage at worst?

We were not saved from hell only to remain stuck in its grip in our daily reality. We were not redeemed just to keep living under the relentless message of “I’m not good enough.”

Freedom is the cry of every heart, whether or not we’re aware of it. It’s not just a feeling or a fleeting moment—it’s a whole way of living. It’s the place where we no longer carry the weight of past pain or performance, but instead walk in the security and strength of our true, God-given design. It’s where we live out our identity as sons and daughters of God—not as slaves to people’s opinions or the fear that tries to knock us back into submission to a lie. It’s where we know who we are, believe what God says is true, and begin to move in the authority He has given us.

Freedom is an entire apparatus—a whole way of doing life. It’s a system of living. It reshapes how we absorb the world around us, how we interpret our circumstances, and how we organize our internal world.

Freedom isn’t just an idea or a mode of living—it’s a Kingdom lifestyle. In this Kingdom, we are royalty. We are offered a seat at the Father’s table. And when we are in His presence, we are fully seen and truly known—loved and deeply valued exactly as we are. No one would reject such an offer if they truly understood its reality. No one would deny the Father’s love if they had tasted its wholeness and felt its pure power.

At Living Free Institute, we work underground—at the root level. We help people understand why they are experiencing the pain of survival. We uncover the deeper impact of trauma, the false beliefs it forms, and the patterns it creates. If we begin with the how alone, we often get stuck in “how-to” lists—programs, disciplines, or formulas that might help for a moment but rarely bring lasting transformation.

How many of us have tried a new routine, a new discipleship plan, or a new strategy to fix our problems—only to end up in the same cycle, sometimes even more discouraged? That’s because freedom is not a checklist. It’s not behavior modification. True freedom focuses on the why: understanding how we got here, how human nature operates, how trauma imprints on our souls, and how the unseen spiritual world affects our reality.

When we begin to see through that lens—where God is in control, where we are under His empowerment, and where we are no longer crippled by shame or fear—we begin to walk differently. We move from reaction to revelation. From surviving to significance. From bondage to boldness.

Every class, training, counseling session, coaching program, and healing intensive at Living Free Institute is part of a much bigger story—the unfolding design of each heart and life. Our role is not to dissect your story or fix you. Our calling is to walk beside you in a way that makes space for the Spirit of God to move freely and powerfully. Jesus holds the invitation—but you hold the power to receive, to choose, and to become.

Come and dare to truly know yourself. And even more importantly—truly know the One who made you for much, much more.
