What does “freedom” mean to our Bridge moms?

What does “freedom” mean to our Bridge moms? For many of our Bridge moms, it's hard to grasp what it means to live in freedom. So long, strongholds attempted to snuff out God's provision by trapping them in the bondage of addiction, abuse, homelessness, and broken...
