What does it really mean to be a son or daughter of God when many of us never had a true father figure? In this raw and powerful episode of The Ed Fernandez Show , Ed unpacks the deep roots of rejection, abandonment, and rebellion that keep so many believers spiritually paralyzed. Drawing from Romans 8:14–15 — “For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption…” — he exposes how brokenness can silently sabotage our walk with God, our relationships, and even our sense of self-worth. This isn’t a soft message — it’s a wake-up call. Ed dives into the hard truth about spiritual bondage, rebellion, and the victim mindset that keeps us chained to our past. Through scripture, personal stories, and real talk, he challenges listeners to confront their pain, receive the Father’s love, and finally break free from cycles of shame and self-sabotage. If you’ve ever wrestled with identity, struggled to love yourself, or questioned how to truly walk as a son or daughter of the Most High, this episode will hit home. It’s time to let Jesus heal the broken heart, reject the lie of rejection, and rise into the warrior you were created to be.
