Ep. 17 - The Ten Commandments Explained (5–10) | Jesus' Teachings & Everyday Life

Welcome back to The Bumpy Narrow Road — the podcast about the real ups and downs of living out Christian principles in everyday life.
In this episode, we dive deep into the second half of the Ten Commandments (5 through 10) and wrestle with three big questions for each:
What does it actually mean?
What does Jesus say about it?
How does it fit into the objective structure of reality?
From honoring your parents to avoiding envy, we unpack how these commandments aren’t just “rules” — they’re life-giving truths that point us toward God’s design for human flourishing.
If you’ve ever asked questions like:
“Do the Ten Commandments still apply today?”
“How does Jesus expand on them in the New Testament?”
“What does it look like to follow them in modern life?”
…you’ll find this conversation both challenging and practical.
