In this episode, Thani and Grant dive deep into 2 Corinthians 3, unpacking Paul's comparison between the fading glory of the Old Covenant and the surpassing glory of the New Covenant through the Spirit. They discuss the metaphor of the veil, Moses' boldness (or lack thereof), and how many today still struggle to see the full freedom and brilliance available in Christ.

Should Christians Obey the Law? Q&A About the Law (Pt. 1) — Bold Grace Podcast EP14

In this special Q&A-style episode, Grant and Thani pivot from exposition into exploration—asking some of the biggest questions surrounding how church-age believers are called to interact with the Mosaic Law. Does the Old Testament law still reveal God’s moral will? What does it mean to live by the Spirit rather than by the Law? Are Jesus’ commandments the same as the Law of Moses? And how should we apply “all Scripture” in 2 Timothy 3:16 today? Grant unpacks these questions with theological clarity and pastoral insight, building on themes from previous episodes in Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians. 📩 If you’ve enjoyed our study on the Law, have questions, or want to support Grant’s ministry, reach out at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠grant@boldgrace.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [grant@boldgrace.org].
