The Two Ten Commandments

Can Social Media Become a Mission Field?

Is sharing the gospel primarily a matter of technique and theological sophistication, or is it rooted in an urgent conviction that God places within His people? Many sincere believers disqualify themselves from evangelism, claiming they lack the training or temperament. But what if the most effective witnesses are simply those who know the authority of Scripture and refuse to apologize for it? In this episode, Andrea Schwartz talks with Josh, one half of the social media couple behind "Free Indeed," about how he and his wife Tatiana use short-form video to teach Scripture unapologetically to audiences with little to no biblical background. Josh shares his journey as a pastor's kid who wrestled through a season of prodigal living, and how his wife — who came to faith with no religious background, reading Genesis through Leviticus — became one of the most dedicated students of God's Word he knows. Together they discuss how the internet functions much like the Roman roads did for the early church: a tool that can be used for evil, but also a providential means for the spread of the gospel. The conversation moves naturally into parenting, the danger of prioritizing external compliance over heart-level faithfulness, and why the law was never designed to save but to reveal God's standard. Whether you're a parent concerned about raising covenant children, a believer hesitant about evangelism, or someone thinking through how technology serves the Kingdom, this episode offers practical wisdom grounded in biblical conviction. Listen and be encouraged that faithfulness — not polish — is what God uses.

The Two Ten Commandments

History has always been governed by law but today two rival “Ten Commandments” stand opposed. God’s law, given to Moses, built Christian civilization by grounding life in worship, family, property, truth, and moral responsibility. Marx openly countered it with a new set of ten laws aimed at abolishing property, inheritance, and independence, promising paradise through state control and environmental change. As societies move closer to Marx’s vision, the results grow darker, not brighter. These two systems cannot coexist: one changes the world by changing men under God’s law; the other tries to change men by forcefully remaking the world. The question is unavoidable whose commandments are shaping your future?

Fear and the Present

To be afraid of the present is to be paralyzed by guilt and fear, so that even ordinary responsibilities feel overwhelming and are endlessly postponed, leaving life suspended between a haunting past and an imagined future that promises escape but never delivers it. Such people cannot live in the “now” because they are bound by unresolved sin and evaded responsibility, and every attempt to flee only deepens the burden, for no man can truly evade accountability before God. The present becomes livable only when we face our responsibility honestly, confess our failure to meet God’s requirements, and rest in Jesus Christ as our substitute, whose atonement frees our conscience and whose regenerating power restores us to faithful action. In Him, the present hour is no longer a threat to be feared but the arena of victorious living, where we move “from strength to strength,” trusting the Lord and finding blessedness in His grace.

What is Law?

Law is never morally neutral. Every law declares something right or wrong, because law is simply morality enforced. The real question isn’t whether we legislate morality, but whose morality rules. America’s legal system was built on Christian faith, and as that foundation is rejected, law and order inevitably decay. Laws can’t save souls but they can restrain evil and protect life. A revolution is underway, not just in courts or streets, but in minds, replacing God’s law with human opinion. The choice Scripture sets before us is stark: obedience and life, or rebellion and judgment. Which law governs you?

K!ll the Men, Take the Women: The Real Story of Genesis 6

Forget the giants — they're not in the Hebrew text. Genesis 6 describes something darker: a campaign to exterminate the godly line by murdering the men and seizing the women, until eight souls remained. Nathan F. Conkey walks through Genesis 4–6 and asks: if believers and unbelievers really share a "common kingdom," why was God's covenant community nearly wiped off the earth?
