Christian singer-songwriter Julie Elias is back with an inspiring anthem of liberation and self-worth in her latest single, “Free.” Written in the wake of the pandemic, the song speaks to the freedom found not only in stepping away from physical restrictions but also in rejecting societal pressures and rediscovering one’s identity in Christ.
“Free” challenges listeners to break free from the mental prisons constructed by the opinions and expectations of others. At its heart, the song is a reminder that true freedom comes from God, not from the world’s approval.
“God hasn’t put us in a prison, so why do we let others make one for us?” Julie reflects. “I’m not perfect, but I’m not a mistake—that’s a mantra that’s carried me through a lot of my life and this album. I hope ‘Free’ empowers others to embrace their unique journey and stand firm in their faith.”
Drawing inspiration from Galatians 5:1 — “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” — “Free” serves as both a personal declaration and a call to action. It invites listeners to let go of societal constraints, celebrate their individuality, and live boldly as the people God created them to be.
With its empowering lyrics and Julie’s heartfelt performance, “Free” is a rallying cry for authenticity and faith in a world often demanding conformity.
