Jeology Season 2 Episode 5

Is the law a burden—or a blessing? In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest misunderstandings in the Bible: the purpose of God’s law. Many people believe the law was given to control or condemn, but what if it was actually meant to protect and preserve a relationship? We explore how the Torah presents the law, not as a list of restrictions, but as a gift rooted in love. Understanding this changes everything—including how we see Jesus. If you've ever wrestled with the Old Testament law, this episode is for you.
