Episode 13: What if God's "Strict Rules" Were Actually Protection All Along?

Running on Coffee and Christ

We explore how God's seemingly strict laws in the Old Testament were actually protective measures designed with loving intention and divine foresight, not arbitrary rules meant to control or burden His people.
• Understanding Biblical quarantine laws as protective measures, not punishment or shame
• Recognizing God's intentionality in creating laws that protected ancient Israelites before modern scientific understanding
• Seeing how Biblical separation laws during illness parallel modern quarantine practices
• Finding God's character throughout Scripture instead of focusing on ourselves
• Discovering how God prepares us through everyday experiences for unexpected challenges
• Viewing physical fitness as preparation that enables us to protect and serve others
• Recognizing the Bible as the story of Jesus: coming, arriving, and returning again
• Learning to trust God's perfect intentions even when we don't understand His methods
Join us this summer for our running group! Whether you want to start running with intention or join our Bible reading journey, it's never too late to begin. God doesn't care if you're on day one or day 105—He simply wants you to seek Him intentionally.
