Life can feel like wandering in a wilderness: moments of anxiety, parenting and marriage struggles, feeling a lack of purpose, dealing with disappointment, and more. But having a reliable compass can make all the difference because it offers guidance on where to go and how to get there safely. In this episode John Tinnin and Austin Conner launch our new series, 10 Keys to the Universe, where we'll be unpacking the Ten Commandments and exploring how they function as a compass for navigating the unpredictable and painful wilderness of life. We often dismiss the Ten Commandments as ancient religious rules that are burdensome and designed to ruin our happiness. So the benefits of the commandments might surprise you: protection, freedom, the restraining of sin, and a clear window into God's heart. Instead of thinking "I have to follow the commandments" this conversation highlights a different perspective: "I get to follow the commandments". This shifts your heart from following the commandments as a legal obligation to earn God’s favor, to a willing response of being deeply loved and cared for by your Creator. As we begin this series, we hope the commandments become less of a set of rules hanging over your head and more of a trusted compass that leads you to hopeful blessings in your life.
