Do Not Murder | JJ Mannschreck

Why do so many of us live lives where we have to have someone to hate? You'll discover how Jesus takes the simple command "do not murder" and reveals something far deeper—that anger is the seed of death, and contempt is murder's hidden root. You can expect to examine where rage has taken hold in your heart and learn practical steps toward reconciliation and peace. This is an invitation to let Jesus have not just your behavior, but your entire heart.

Sabbath | JJ Mannschreck

Are you exhausted from the constant grind, feeling like rest is something you can never quite reach? You'll discover that Sabbath isn't about legalistic rules or guilt—it's a gift God designed into the rhythm of creation for your flourishing. You can expect to learn how true rest is found in Jesus, why stopping work is an act of defiance against a world obsessed with productivity, and how reclaiming a weekly Sabbath can literally change the rest of your life. You'll be challenged to take one practical step: carve out a holy day to stop, set time apart for God, and experience soul-deep restoration.

Do Not Steal | Blake Hicks

What if the eighth commandment isn't just about avoiding theft, but about discovering the freedom that comes from living with open hands? You'll discover how stealing is rarely about stuff—it's about trust in God's provision, and how our culture of taking creates anxiety while generosity brings freedom. You can expect to be challenged not just to stop taking, but to start giving like Jesus did, understanding that transformed hearts naturally lead to open hands. This explores the difference between mere morality (don't steal) and Christianity (give generously), calling you to build a legacy marked not by what you accumulated, but by what you gave away.

Lord's Name In Vain | Luke Morgan

Why did God wait over a thousand years to reveal His personal name, and what does that tell us about how seriously He takes it? You'll discover that the third commandment isn't just about avoiding casual profanity—it's an invitation into profound intimacy with the God who has made Himself known as "I AM." You can expect to learn how God's name connects your everyday vocation, passions, and heart to authentic worship, and how Jesus fulfills every "I AM" promise as the greater Moses who went first for you.

Don't Make Idols | JJ Mannschreck

Are you chasing the wrong things, hoping they'll finally make your life feel complete? You'll discover how modern idols—success, image, money, and reputation—promise fulfillment but leave us empty, and why we were designed to find satisfaction in God alone. You can expect to identify the hidden idols in your own life and learn practical steps to replace them with genuine intimacy with Jesus. This exploration of the second commandment reveals that God doesn't want your rituals or formulas—He wants your heart in a relationship that truly satisfies.
