Are you using your freedom to serve or burying it in comfort? Discover how a 20-minute daily choice can transform your faith.

In this 5-minute daily devotional, Captain Rob Westwood-Payne looks at the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 and Paul's exhortation in Galatians 5:13. Real Christian freedom isn't about doing whatever we want—it is the power to serve others in love. Whether it's noticing a hurting colleague at lunchtime or taking a small step of ordinary courage, learn why burying your freedom in comfort causes it to wither, while investing it in compassion multiplies your joy, capacity, and faith.
