Breaking The Rules

Heartline Podcast • Episode 26 • Fil Anderson

The idea of breaking the rules seems horrifying to most Christians, and yet that is just what Fil Anderson is encouraging us to do on this edition of Heartline. Why in the world would he do that? Because breaking the rules of religious performance can actually lead to real freedom in our relationship with God.

He is a frequent speaker at conferences, offers individual spiritual direction, and directs retreats and workshops nationally and internationally. He’s authored 2 books - both available on my website.
