In today’s episode of the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Rob Paul unpacks this week’s message from our Exodus: The Way Through series, focusing on the Ten Commandments—better understood as the “Ten Words.”
This rich conversation explores:
- Why the Hebrew word Torah means instruction, not punishment
- How the Ten Words point us toward a blessed life
- Why relationship with God always comes before rules
- The differences between ceremonial, civil, and moral law
- How to discern which Old Testament laws apply to believers today
- Why the Ten Words still reflect God’s unchanging character
- The role of Christ in fulfilling the law
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how God uses these Ten Words to direct our lives toward flourishing, freedom, and relationship with Him.👉 Learn more at shepnaz.org/shepnow

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
