2026/03/25

In this episode, we discuss the 8th Commandment: Thou shalt not steal. Stealing is not just taking what belongs to another; it is also withholding what is due to our neighbor. We look at the book of Amos and the judgment against those who tread down the poor. Jesus warns us against hoarding goods for ourselves, as the rich man did with his barns. St. Paul tells us to work with our hands so that we have something to give to those in need. We also talk about tithes, alms, and the duty to be cheerful

In the first of a two-part series, we explore the Seventh Commandment: “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Shifting the focus from mere prohibition to the positive duty of “temperance, soberness, and chastity,” the discussion grounds human sexuality in the created order of Genesis 2. By examining the “one-flesh” union, the sacramental nature of marriage, and St. Paul’s teaching on the body as a Temple of the Holy Spirit, we address how the Fall disordered our desires. This episode tackles the internal

The conversation centers on the fulfillment of the law in Christ, who calls us to move beyond mere legalism toward a life of reconciliation, tenderheartedness, and the pastoral care of our neighbors.For

In this episode, Father Peter Jocelyn from St. Alban’s Pro Cathedral returns to discuss the need for order and balance in the Christian life, particularly as an antidote to the modern maelstrom of anxiety. The modern-day 24-hour media cycle and the doom scroll algorithm exacerbate feelings of chaos, encouraging Christians to embrace the ancient practice of intentional withdrawal. The practice is not presented as an escape but rather as a reordering of life around the Kingdom of God. By contrasting

In this episode, we conclude our discussion of the Fifth Commandment by exploring its extension to all forms of earthly authority, moving beyond the family unit to the wider world. Drawing from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer’s Offices of Instruction, we examine the Christian’s duty to honor and obey civil governors, teachers, and spiritual fathers.

In this episode, we're digging deeper into the fourth commandment to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, exploring its meaning from creation through the Old Covenant civil law to its fulfillment in Christ's resurrection. We discuss how the Sabbath principle shifted from Saturday (the seventh day) to Sunday (the eighth day) as the early church gathered to break bread on the first day of the week, celebrating the new creation begun in Christ. We also touch on some common obstacles to

Moving beyond mere cursing, we discuss the mystery and holiness of God’s self-revelation as the transcendent "I AM" in Exodus. We connect the Old and New Testaments by identifying Jesus Christ as the embodiment of this divine name, through whom we all find salvation and adoption into God's family. We wrap up the episode with some practical

In this episode, we explore the second commandment, which forbids graven images. We clarify that God's focus is on worship and allegiance, not on the images themselves. We examine ancient contexts such as animism, pantheism, and polytheism that surrounded Israel, showing how this commandment preserves the distinction between Creator and creation. We discuss how the Incarnation—Christ as the image of the invisible God—makes sacred images appropriate when used properly for veneration. We also

We define the Law, distinguish between the universal natural order in creation (Psalm 19) and the written Commandments, and discuss its necessity and relevance today. We examine the Law's three functions: as a curb against chaos (Romans 13), a mirror to reveal sin and guide us to Christ (Galatians 3), and a guide and delight for
