Thoughts to Keep in Mind: The Tabernacle and Sacrifice with Devin Barnes

In this bonus episode, Tess Frame is joined by Devin Barnes to explore one of the “Thoughts to Keep in Mind” from Come, Follow Me: the tabernacle and sacrifice. Instead of focusing on specific chapters, this conversation dives into the deeper meaning behind temple symbolism and how these sacred patterns still matter today.Together, they explore the symbolism of veiling and what it actually represents. Rather than shame or exclusion, veiling in scripture points to protection, preparation, and the overwhelming glory of God. Through examples like Moses veiling his face and modern temple practices, Tess and Devin unpack how cultural assumptions can sometimes distort our understanding of sacred things, and how deeper study can bring clarity and peace.They also reflect on the meaning of sacrifice and the structure of the tabernacle, connecting ancient rituals to the modern temple experience. From washing and anointing to the emotional weight of sacrifice, these practices were meant to transform hearts and point to Jesus Christ. For women especially, this episode offers a meaningful reminder that they are not on the margins of God’s work, but are essential, valued, and deeply included in His plan.
