Over the next several weeks, we’re diving straight into the heart of the Law—tracing its roots, its meaning, and how time, culture, and human comfort have reshaped what was once bold and burning into something soft and safe. Together, we’ll uncover the historical and cultural layers that reveal how the Gospel we follow today often drifts far from its original fire.

When God gave the Ten Commandments, He wasn’t writing a list of restrictions — He was speaking vows. In Hebrew, they’re not called “commandments” but Aseret haDibrot — the Ten Words. They read like the promises exchanged in a marriage covenant, not the rules of a tyrant.

The chapter atheists love to mock and many Christians quietly skip. For centuries, these verses have been wielded as a weapon to shame women, brand them as “unclean,” and push them to the margins of faith communities.

Every project has a story behind it. For me, the Survival Field Manual wasn’t created because I was afraid of what’s happening in the world. It was born out of love—specifically, my love for my husband and my desire to help him grow closer to God.

Welcome, friend.
