Feeling trapped by debt, circumstances, or cycles you can't break?

In this honest conversation, Sharon Edmundson explores the Year of Jubilee - God's radical 50-year reset system where debts were cancelled, people were freed, and everyone got a fresh start. From her own struggles with inner darkness despite outward success, to discovering how Jesus transformed this ancient practice into everyday freedom, Sharon offers hope for anyone who feels permanently stuck.

You'll discover why God built liberation into the very structure of society, how this applies to modern debt slavery, and practical steps for your own jubilee reset. Whether you're drowning financially, relationally, or spiritually, this message reveals that freedom isn't just possible - it's promised.

[03:00 ] The System That Sounds Too Good to Be True

Sharon starts with an incredible scenario - imagine the government cancelling all your debts tomorrow.

"Three and a half thousand years ago, God designed exactly this kind of system for an entire nation, and it wasn't a one-off. It happened every 50 years like clockwork."

What we explore:

• The radical nature of the Jubilee system
• How it prevented permanent poverty cycles
• Why ancient "slavery" was different from what we think
• Built-in hope for desperate situations

Key takeaway: God's response to suffering wasn't to blame people but to build hope into society's structure.

[08:00 ] Why People Get Trapped

Sharon gets honest about debt and circumstances, including Matt's early business disasters.

"I often joke that I married Matt and his debt - bucketloads of enthusiasm for business, but a teacup's worth of wisdom, and the teacup is a bit generous."

Real-life understanding:

• Multiple reasons people end up in debt
• How systems can be loaded against people
• The cycle of poverty and desperation
• Protection built into God's law

Key takeaway: The Bible recognises that debt and poverty aren't always someone's fault.

[15:00 ] When External Freedom Isn't Enough

Sharon's most vulnerable moment - having everything but being internally broken.

"For many years, looking at my life from the outside, you'd think I was doing well... and yet inside I was a mess. My inner world was full of darkness."

Personal breakthrough:

• The difference between external and internal slavery
• How Jesus takes Jubilee deeper
• From once-in-a-lifetime to everyday freedom
• The meaning of "it is finished"

Key takeaway: Jesus offers internal freedom that has positive knock-on effects in every area of life.

[19:00 ] Your Personal Jubilee Reset

Three practical areas Sharon challenges us to examine honestly.

"I don't think God's calling us to lobby Parliament for a new Jubilee law, though honestly, it might not be the worst idea. But I do think he's inviting us into our own personal jubilee moments."

Practical application:

• Where are you with God? (receiving vs earning forgiveness)
• What relationships need jubilee? (who to forgive or make amends with)
• How are you using what you've got? (money, influence, skills)
• One thing to try this week

Key takeaway: Jubilee isn't just about getting set free - it's about becoming people who help others find freedom too.
