Leviticus 25:39-55 (From Creation) - Why Didn't God Abolish Slavery?

**Hebrews 10: A Call to Action**

In this episode, Jenn delves into the difficult topic of Hebrews 10, where Christians are reminded that actions have consequences, and that God is a God of justice:
The concept of willful sinning - how it leads to a "fearful expectation of judgment" and a "fierceness of fire" that will devour those who refuse to obey God.
Jenn shares personal anecdotes and biblical examples to illustrate the importance of living a life that honors God, and encourages listeners to take an inventory of their own lives and seek God's guidance.
The importance of being bold and living a life that reflects our faith.
A powerful prayer from Psalm 139 that can help us seek God's guidance and direction.

If you're looking for a fresh perspective on what it means to be a Christian, and how to live a life that honors God, this episode is a must-listen. Join Jenn as she explores the depths of Hebrews 10 and challenge us to live a life that reflects our faith.
