4/15/20261 hr 10 min
What if the Ten Commandments were never about punishment, but about being pursued by a God who desperately wants you close?

First 90 secondsHank Smith· Host0:00
Coming up in this episode on Follow Him.
Aaron Schade· Guest0:03
God loves us. He's not looking for ways to crush us or punish us or destroy our dreams. All of these feelings that the people are having are completely understandable. If we just view God through a different lens, which is what they're being asked to do, because again, that's back in chapter nineteen, there's this preoccupation with do not fear, God will come down in your sight. The commandments then are something to now personalize and bring us closer to Him.
Hank Smith· Host0:37
[music] Hello, everyone. Welcome to Follow Him. My name is Hank Smith. I'm your host. I'm here with my co-host, John, by the way, who is on the Lord's side. John, that's Moses asking the question to the camp of Israel, "Who is on the Lord's side?" And I bet you would have been first in line.
John Bytheway· Co-host0:59
Hope he's on my side. The hymn says, "The Lord is on thy side," so I'll take it.
Hank Smith· Host1:03
Yeah. Who's on the Lord's side? Who? I think I would have been the first in the murmuring line. [laughs] John, we are excited to have returning Dr. Aaron Shade.
Aaron Schade· Guest1:15
Thanks so much. Great to be here. Appreciate you having me back.
Hank Smith· Host1:18
We've had a lot of good times on this show with Aaron. John, we're out of Egypt. Now we have a lot of people who have a lot of Egypt still left in them. [laughs] What are you
