Why the Old Testament Feels Hard: Law and Love

For most us, reading the Old Testament can feel heavy, confusing, or even harsh—especially when compared to the grace-centered Jesus of the New Testament. In this episode, I'll unpack why that tension exists and what we might be missing when we read ancient law through modern eyes.

We'll explore how God uses law as an expression of love, why structure often comes before intimacy, and how different people experience love through clarity, boundaries, or connection. You'll hear why the Old Testament can be better understood as a preparatory work and how seeing it this way can change how you approach it.
