Welcome to our verse-by-verse study through the Book of James on The Finding Freedom Podcast🫶🏻In this introductory teaching, I am introducing our study and how it will work and then we explore the historical background, authorship, audience, purpose, and key themes of James, one of the earliest New Testament letters written around AD 49.James was written by James, the brother of Jesus and a leader in the Jerusalem church. He wrote to first-century Jewish Christians who had been scattered and were facing trials, persecution, and spiritual inconsistency.In this overview, we cover:– Who James was– Why he wrote this letter– What was happening historically– The setting of persecuted believers outside Judea– & Major themesThe book of James challenges believers to examine whether their faith is merely professed, or visibly practiced.This series is designed to help you grow in spiritual maturity and live out authentic, biblical faith in everyday life.✨Optional Study Guide✨If you want a structured companion to this study, the James Study Guide is available on my website here✨Free Community✨Join our free community for weekly discussion, prayer, and accountability as we walk through this book together✨Homework✨Before the next video, read James 1:1-18 and ask the Lord to prepare your heart.——————————-
