Are the Ten Commandments a rigid tool for control or a roadmap for sacred community and liberation? In this episode of Coffee to Go, Karin and Blake explore Exodus 20 and the story of Mount Sinai. They unpack how foundational laws were given to shape a wandering group of former slaves into a healthy, fair community—and how those same scriptures have been used both to manipulate and to inspire major societal change, such as the abolitionist movement.
Join the conversation as they examine the interplay of liberation, law, and worship, discuss overcoming fear-based faith, and offer a practical homework challenge comparing the Ten Commandments with Community of Christ’s Enduring Principles.
