No. 107: OMG...GD...What's the big deal?
Nov 25, 202400:37:58Tap to summarizeWhat does it mean to truly honor the name of the Lord, and to not use it in vain? In this episode, we dive into the Third Commandment: “Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God.” While many think it simply prohibits phrases like "OMG" and "GD" there’s far more to this command. From understanding the Hebrew word Shav—which conveys emptiness and falsehood—to exploring how we bear God’s name in daily life, we unpack what it means to respect and represent Him faithfully. Join us as we discuss the weight of words, the importance of reverence, and the profound responsibility of carrying God’s name. Grab a seat on the cozy, comfy, virtual couch!

Transcribe →No. 106: What Idols Have You Made for Yourself?
Nov 11, 202400:53:28Tap to summarizeIn this episode of the One Degree Podcast, we’re unpacking the second commandment and its relevance to our present lives. Building on last week’s “no other gods” chat, we dive into Exodus 20:4-5, which tells us to ditch the idols—whether golden calves or 21st-century distractions. We’ll explore how idolatry goes beyond statues to anything that tries to edge God out. Join us for a lively discussion on spotting “modern-day golden calves” and practical tips to keep God first in a world full of shiny objects/experiences.
