Unbound: Freedom In Christ Conference

September 12–13 | Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church

Discover Freedom. Encounter Jesus. Be Empowered.

We all have places in our hearts that long for freedom—wounds from the past, habits we can’t shake, burdens we carry alone. At the Unbound: Freedom in Christ Conference, you’ll learn how to unlock those inner prison doors and experience healing through the power of Jesus. This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a weekend that could change your life.

What is Unbound?

Unbound is a ministry of inner healing and freedom, developed by Neal Lozano, that helps people break spiritual strongholds through a simple, loving, and powerful prayer model.
It’s especially helpful for those struggling with:

• Resentment and unforgiveness
• Addictions and unhealthy habits
• Negative self-talk and patterns of fear
• Wounds from the past
• Spiritual blockages that keep us from God’s love

Through five practical keys, you’ll learn how to reclaim your identity and live more fully in the grace Jesus already won for you.

What is Unbound?

The book Unbound was launched in 2003 by Neal Lozano, a lay-Catholic from Pennsylvania, after his decades of experience in prayer ministry. It has since become a blessing to Christians across denominations and throughout the world. Unbound Joliet is one of many teams throughout the world that is part of The Unbound Network. We seek to offer Unbound prayer to all those who desire to know the Father’s love for them, and who desire to be set free from spiritual bondage.

If you would like to receive prayer ministry, please email unboundjoliet@gmail.com and proceed to this page to learn more about the steps you can take to find freedom in Christ.
