Altars of Dirt and Nakedness | Exodus 20

Season 1 | Altars of Dirt and Nakedness | Exodus 20

Exodus 20 is known for being the chapter about the 10 Commandments. But what about a few key verses that come after this important list? There's talk about an altar of dirt, not exposing your nakedness when you ascend the steps...what is all this about? 

In this episode, Steph, Lisa, and Jason jump from Exodus 20 to passages in Exodus 19, Genesis 2, and Genesis 9...just to name a few. 

 

This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith…

40 Orchards, with Steph and Lisa, invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash.

In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good. 

You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org.

Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions.
