In this episode, we look at the bronze basin in the tabernacle courtyard and the strict requirement for the priests to wash their hands and feet before approaching God. We discuss the reality of how we pick up the spiritual "dirt" of the world in our daily lives, and how Jesus, our Great High Priest, gently kneels to wash our feet with His ongoing grace.

In this episode, we look at the unusual "ransom" God required during the census in Exodus 30. We talk about the universal human tendency to try and pay off our spiritual debts through our own effort, and why God insisted that the rich and the poor pay the exact same amount. Ultimately, we see how this Old Testament silver points us to the final, perfect ransom paid by Jesus on the cross.

In this episode, we spend time looking at the Altar of Incense and what it teaches us about our prayer lives. So many of us carry guilt about how we pray—our minds wander, our motives are mixed, and our consistency is lacking. The biblical imagery of incense reminds us that our prayers actually need atonement. We dive into the encouraging truth that Jesus serves as our great High Priest, actively taking our frail, distracted prayers, washing them in His grace, and presenting them to the Father as a perfect offering. We discuss how this reality frees us from performance and invites us to approach God with genuine confidence.
