    1 Kings 14-16: Not All Kings Are Created Evil Oct 28, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Embark on a journey in 1 Kings 15 through the tumultuous reigns of Judah and Israel's kings, as we explore their profound impacts on history and faith.

    Rehoboam and Abijah's Reigns: Rehoboam's reign was marked by idol worship and divine displeasure, setting the stage for Judah's struggles. His successor, Abijah, followed similar paths of sin, yet God preserved the Davidic line, showing His faithfulness.

    The Rise of Asa: Asa, a righteous king, brought reform to Judah by eradicating idol worship and restoring faithfulness to God. His strategic alliance with Ben-Hadad of Aram helped secure Judah's borders against Baasha of Israel, ensuring peace and prosperity.
    Kingdoms in Turmoil: Israel faced instability with rapid successions of kings, including Nadab, Baasha, Elah, and the short-lived Zimri, each doing evil in the Lord's eyes. These turbulent times noted in 1 Kings 15 paved the way for the rise of Omri and the imminent arrival of the prophet Elijah.

    1 Kings 13-14: Jeroboam & Rehoboam, the First Kings of the Divided Kingdom Oct 21, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 1 Kings 13 and 1 Kings 14, when the kingdom divided, many priests and Levites who had originally served in the northern kingdom moved to Judah. These men were well versed in the Torah or law and the Covenant between God and the people. They knew that the promised king had to come from David’s line. They knew of the laws surrounding worship. And they knew that Jeroboam was disobeying the Torah and breaking the Covenant.

    Many priests left the Northern Kingdom, but in this story it appears some did not…

    1 Kings 10-11: Solomon Attains Influencer Status Oct 07, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 1 Kings 10 and 11, Solomon will solidify his influencer status. He will stray though, no longer using his influence for good. It seems to be a particular pitfall or temptation of influencers. Too much fame and fortune lead to self-gratification. Too much of self leaves very little room for the Lord. And when Solomon fails to value the Lord, he breaks the covenant.

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 1 Kings 5–6, Solomon began his building plan for the temple. He contracted with Hiram king of Tyre for all the building supplies. Then he organized over 187,000 laborers. In the 480th year, after the Israelite’s release from Egypt, they began building. It took 7 and ½ years to complete. The temple was twice the size of the Tabernacle, 30 feet wide and 90 feet long. But the scale was the same. The Holy Place was twice the size of the Most Holy Place with the interior covered in gold. Now that the temple is up, Solomon moves on to...

    1 Kings 5-6: Solomon Builds the Temple Sep 09, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 1 Kings 5, we reference back to 2 Samuel 7:12 when God promised:

    12 When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

    The time has come for Solomon to build. This was a historic occasion for the Israelites for several reasons. First and foremost, the temple was built to house the Ark. The Ark was the seat of God’s presence. It was also the place of atonement for their sins. Atonement was crucial for their relationship with God.

    The Canaanites, Egyptians, etc. all had temples for their God. The Ark had been housed in a tent called the Tabernacle from the time they left Egypt to well after they wandered in the wilderness. At this time, the ark is housed in a tent that David pitched for it in 2 Samuel 6:17. The ark needed a permanent home. It needed a temple.

    The Temple would be the focal point for Israel’s worship and religious life. And the temple would give Israel a national identity.

    1 Kings 3-4: Solomon Asks for Wisdom Sep 02, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Starting with 1 Kings 3, the focus of the next 9 chapters will be Solomon’s reign. David reigned through war. Solomon reigned in peace. David was called to battle for the land. Solomon was called to build on the land. David had a heart for the Lord. Solomon had wisdom from the Lord. Both are examples to us of how God transforms our desires into a story for His glory.

    The focus of this episode is Solomon’s wisdom. How and where does one attain wisdom? First, you have to ask for it.

    1 Kings Overview + 1: David, on His Deathbed, Fights for Solomon’s Succession Aug 19, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Recap of Where We Are + How Kings Fits into the Bible:

    The Bible is a collection of small stories that together tell a much larger story.

    • The larger story is the entire history of our redemption, with Jesus as the ultimate hero.
    • Kings is in the middle of that history. We are on a journey through God’s plan to save us.

    How does 1 and 2 Kings fit into the Bible?

    • 1 Kings is the 11th book in the Old Testament and 2 Kings is the 12th.
    • The Old Testament has 5 divisions. The next division is called the History books which include 12 books. The division is aptly named because these books describe Israel’s history in Canaan. We have discussed 5 of the History books, seasons 5-10. The Books of Kings are right in the middle of The History Books, which begins with the book of Joshua and ends with the book of Esther.

    2 Samuel 23-24: David’s Mighty Men and the Sacred Mount Moriah Aug 12, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    If only the books of Samuel ended there, after David’s final words. It’s a great place to end, but he didn’t. There is more in 2 Samuel 23 and 24, and it is anti-climatic for the books of Samuel. However, it is an intriguing link to the future of Christ and our redemption. Recall that the author is writing the final chapters in a chiasm which is a literary structure where themes mirror each other in an inverted pattern. The focus is on the center of the chiasm. We have discussed the first 4 steps of the chiasm: Saul causes a famine, David’s Mighty Warriors, David’s final song, and David’s final words.

    In 2 Samuel 23, we will discuss the remaining:David’s Mighty Warriors, and David causes a plague. These two mirror the first two. There will be more detail on the Mighty Warriors. Then we will end with David causing a plague which is a comparison to Saul causing a famine.

    2 Samuel 22-23: David’s Final Song and Final Words Aug 05, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 2 Samuel 22, we are going to read David’s song and final words. Recall that 1 and 2 Samuel were really one long book. 1 Samuel begins with Hannah’s song, and 2 Samuel ends with David’s song. The two songs are bookends to the story of Samuel, Saul, and David. Hannah’s song celebrates what God has done, how he reverses situations, and looks forward to what He will do in the future. David’s song celebrates what God has done and how he powerfully saved him, looking back on the past. The point is that the two songs creatively bookend the whole story, Hannah’s looks forward with a prophecy of an anointed king and David’s looks back on the fulfillment of this prophecy.

    The author uses the songs in another creative way. There is another song in the beginning of 2 Samuel which place is right in the middle of the other 2 songs. It is David’s song of lament for the death of Saul and Jonathan. If we string all three songs together: Hannah’s Song begins as a series of reversals.

    • God brings death and life.
    • He humbles and exalts
    • He guards the faithful and silences the wicked

    Then Hannah ends with a prophecy:

    2:10 “He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

    Hannah sings of a king to come, for there was no king at that time. Recall, the book of Judges ended with...

    Judges 21:25 In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.

    Everyone sinned because there was no king. Hannah has caught a vision of a time when God will reverse the situation, an anointed king will overcome the evil. Then we read David’s song of lament for Saul 2 Samuel 1. David sang about how the mighty have fallen...meaning Saul. A king had come but he was not the king God had wanted. Saul was wicked and God humbled him and he and his descendants died. In the 3rd song, David sings of the reverse. David was faithful, and God exalted him, and his descendants will live and reign forever. The point is that what Hannah foresaw was fulfilled.

    2 Samuel 20-21: Joab Kills for a Job, A Woman Kills for Peace and Gibeon kills to Avenge Jul 29, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 2 Samuel 20, we pick up in the middle of the new rebellion led by Sheba, the Benjaminite. David has a new commander, Amasa, who is the former commander of Absalom and tried to kill David. When David appointed Amasa as his commander, back in Chapter 19, we were never given any insight into how Joab felt about being replaced. Was Joab totally fired or just demoted and ordered to report to Amasa? How did Joab react, did he walk off in his usual temper and quit? And was David confident in this decision or had he decided rashly?

    Yes, Joab had disobeyed David and killed Abner and Absalom. Abner, out of jealousy. Definitely wrong. But should David have trusted Abner? Regarding Absalom, perhaps Joab had good reasons for killing him. First, according to the law, Absalom should have been killed for rebellion. Second, he had betrayed Joab, who was the one who talked David into acknowledging him. So Joab had a personal vengeance. And third, Joab knew that had Absalom lived, David would have gone soft on him and Absalom probably would have planned another rebellion.

    Back to David’s decision to replace Joab. Despite the wrong that Joab had done by killing these two men, he had done a lot well. As leader of the army, he had an outstanding record. And his loyalty to David and Israel was admirable. We don’t know how Joab felt about this demotion, and we can’t say whether it was fair of David without more detail. Whatever the case, Joab is not the kind of leader who sits quietly in the background. His commitment to David and Israel is too strong. And in this episode, Joab will find a way to take center stage.

    2 Samuel 18-20: David Returns to Reign with a Broken Heart Jul 22, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!


    In 2 Samuel 18, David, the king with such a big heart, is bereft. With this deathof his son, Absalom, our story comes full circle. David began in 2 Samuel mourning the death of Saul. A man he loved. A man who was trying to kill him. The man he had to take the kingdom from. David is back where he started, mourning the death of Absalom. A man he loved. A man who was trying to kill him. The man he had to take the kingdom from.

    Being king is painful, and David would rather die himself than experience this pain for his son. His grief was made all the more painful because of his deep conviction that it was his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah that brought about Absalom’s rebellion. His pain consumes him, and his despondency is made public.

    2 Samuel 16-18: Absalom’s Obsession with Power Ends Violently Jul 15, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Note the author's focus on relationships in these last few chapters. David’s sin is in his relationships with Bathsheba and with his children And therefore, his consequences are relational.
    In the 2 Samuel 15:

    • Joab interfered in David’s relationships by bringing back Absalom
      • Absalom rebelled first against Joab and then against David
      • The Kerethites, Pelethites and Gittites all foreigners are loyal to David
      • Zadok the priest is loyal
      • Ahithophel is not loyal
      • Hushai is loyal.

    With every step in his exodus from Jerusalem, David is confronted by people who have chosen to be for or against him. It must have been an emotional roller coaster for a man with such a tender heart.

    David is still on the rollercoaster in this 2 Samuel 16, his emotional exodus from Jerusalem. He is still at risk of being caught and killed by his son, Absalom. With every step on the journey and with every person he meets, David is forced to face the fact that this is war. And in a war of kings, only the winner gets to live.

    2 Samuel 14-15: David is Forced to Run from Absalom His Son Jul 08, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 2 Samuel 13, we learned that David has sons who are following in his ways. Like father, like son, Amnon is distracted by women. And in particular, women whom he cannot and should not desire. In this case, it is his half-sister Tamar that he wants. Amnon uses David to get what he wants. He rapes Tamar and throws her out in humiliation. David is furious but does nothing, while Absalom, Tamar’s brother, plots revenge. Two years later, Absalom murders Amnon.

    Like father like son: Amnon’s sin was sexual as David’s was with Bathsheba. Absalom’s sin was murder, as David’s was with Uriah. Nathan had warned David the consequences of his sin. The sword would not depart from his household and David is living that reality.

    In 2 Samuel 14, unfortunately for David, the fulfillment of Nathan’s prophecy is not over, but just begun...

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    There are a lot of scenes in 2 Samuel 13. Each scene has a different combination of 5 characters. They include David and 3 of his children, Amnon, Absalom, and Tamar and Jonadab, a no-good advisor.

    Amnon is David’s firstborn, the son of his second wife, Ahinoam. David never had a child with his first wife, Saul’s daughter, Michal. Absalom is David’s 3rd son, he was born to Maakah, his 4th. Tamar was also born to Maakah, so Absalom and Tamar are close because they have the same mother and father. There is a second son between Amnon and Absalom, and his name is Kileab or Daniel. He is the son of Abigail and he must be wise like his mother because he manages to stay out of this sordid story. Or it is possible that he dies because he is never mentioned as a contender for the crown? David’s family dynamic seems complicated, and for good reason...

    2 Samuel 12: David trusts God and Confronts the Consequences Jun 24, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    We ended the last episode with the information from 2 Samuel chapter 11, “that the thing David had done displeased the Lord.” Nothing is hidden from God’s sight. And he loves David too much to let him go any further in his sin.

    In 2 Samuel 12, it is God’s turn to send. God sends Nathan. God sends a message. And God sends a consequence.

    2 Samuel 11: David Takes a Wrong Turn Onto the Path to Evil Jun 17, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    When we left our hero in the last episode, he was all Israel had hoped for. He was the king whom Israel needed to make God’s name known to the world. God was with David and because of that, his power grew. Our author made clear to us who holds the power by his repetitious use of the word send. In the preceding chapter, Chapter 10, the one that began with the phrase “in the course of time” and therefore, goes with these next 2 chapters.
    King David sends a sympathy delegation to King Hanun. King Hanun sends them back. King David sends Joab and the army into war. The two kings do all the sending, they are engaged in a human power struggle where the most powerful man wins. That man is David because he has found favor with the Lord.

    But David is about to learn that while power given by God, used for God, glorifies God. That same power used for personal pleasure is a dark and deadly path of pain.

    2 Samuel 8-10: David’s Kindness for Mephibosheth Jun 10, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    David is a man of action. So much so, that one gets the impression that he thrives in motion and cannot be still. From herding sheep and delivering food to his brothers on the front lines as a boy to hiding in caves to escape Saul and protecting the Philistines for pay while secretly sabotaging Israel’s enemies. The man is clever and makes good use of his time. But all of that is over.

    David is king. He doesn’t have to do it all. He has people, who have people. Yet, David has been told he can’t build a house for God because too much blood is on his hands. So what is he supposed to do? It is unsurprising that while looking for something he can do God leads him to do something that everyone else has failed to do – secure the Promised Land. David must go to war.

    In 2 Samuel 8, David takes action to build the nation God had planned for Israel. David has already united Israel, now he will greatly expand its boundaries.

    2 Samuel 7: The Davidic Covenant Jun 03, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    There are 55 chapters in 1 and 2 Samuel and, without a doubt, 2 Samuel chapter 7 is the most important. In fact, this chapter ranks as one of the most important chapters in the entire Bible because, in this chapter, God will make a covenant with David.

    It will be the 4th and last Covenant made in the Old Testament. There is just one covenant in the New Testament making 5 total. A covenant is a binding agreement between God and His people.

    2 Samuel 5-6: A New Capital, A New Palace, and Too Many New Wives May 27, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    So much happened in our last episode: Joab killed Abner, David cursed Joab, Baanah and Rekab killed Ish-Bosheth, and David killed Baanah and Rekab.

    Despite all of the killing, David managed to unite the two kingdoms. And Israel finally became one nation under David, a king after God’s heart. This event fulfilled prophecy from the past and pointed Israel toward the future prophecy of Jesus. In 2 Samuel 5, the united nation gets a new capital.

    2 Samuel 3-5: Israel Becomes One Nation Under God...and David May 20, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 2 Samuel 2-3, David listens to God's plan for his nation but not everyone is on board. Joab and Abner start a civil war over their disagreement. After some bloodshed, Abner wants to switch teams and asks to join team David. David makes peace with him, hoping to reunite Israel as one nation. But, Joab is not on board with David’s plan.

    And so, 2 Samuel 3 brings us justice, conspiracy, and a lot of hopeful PR solutions.

    2 Samuel 2 begins well on David’s part, but for Israel, it’s what we have come to expect—messy. For the next 5 chapters, Israel will fight through the transition from Saul to David.

    2 Samuel Overview + 1: David Pays Tribute to Saul, the Source of His Tribulation May 06, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    The books of 1 and 2 Samuel are the story of Israel’s leadership transition from judges to the first 2 kings: Saul, who failed due to pride and disobedience, and David, a man after God’s heart.

    The 2 books were originally one book and are named after Samuel, the prophet God used to establish Israel’s monarchy.

    Most of 1 Samuel was a contrast between Saul and David. Saul was the king the people wanted. He was a bad example of a king because while he looked good on the outside, his heart was all about himself, not God. David was the king God wanted. He was a good example of a king with a heart for the Lord.

    Their devotion to God, or lack of it, was a key performance indicator. David clearly outperforms Saul. Saul did not subdue the Amalekites and the Philistines; David did. Saul thinks nothing of disobeying God and doing what he wants. David obeys God and denies his wants in the wilderness for 14 years. Twice the number of perfection 7, proving him to be twice the man Saul is.

    Saul relied on Samuel and a medium for answers. David relied on the priests and the divine revelation of God. Saul was self-absorbed and inconsistent in his regard for God. David is steadfast and passionate about God. Saul risks everything to retain the crown by killing David. David risks everything to defend the crown by not killing Saul. Saul’s life ends in humiliation. David’s life is forever linked to Christ.

    2 Samuel is focused solely on David...his successes and failures as the second king and his love for the Lord that leads to the promise and hope of an eternal king. The story begins with the death of Saul, which sets in motion a rather messy 5 chapter transition to David.

    Welcome to Season 10! Thank you for being a part of the club.

    1 Samuel 30-31: Saul’s Fall from Sorcery to Suicide Apr 29, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    David is playing a dangerous game with a lot of moving parts. He is a mercenary soldier deceiving his employer, Achish who just happens to be in league with 4 other powerful Philistine leaders.

    At this time, Achish and their friends are attacking David’s people the Israelites. Achish believes David has been raiding the Israelites, when in fact, he was raiding the Geshurites, Girzites and Amalekites.
    Achish may be fooled about David, but the Amalekites are not. David arrives home after a 3 day’s Journey and discovers that those Amalakites he had been raiding have retaliated and walked off with their women and children.

    In summary, David is working for Achish, Achish is attacking David’s people, David is attacking Canaanites and lying to Achish about it, and one of the Canaanite tribes, the Amalekites, is raiding David’s camp. It’s a mess, but God loves a good story.

    In this episode, David will face his 3rd and final test in the wilderness. This last test is a temptation, like the first, to avoid suffering. Specifically another temptation to kill Saul and end his torturous time in the wilderness.

    1 Samuel 25: Abigail the Intelligent and Beautiful Apr 08, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In this episode, two stories are going to take place: Samuel is going to die and David will have his second test in the wilderness. (The second test is the temptation to avenge himself.)

    David was anointed but not appointed king. As a threat to the current king, David was treated as a defector, an outlaw, resulting in disrespect and ill-treatment by many. It was a difficult position to be in and the contempt is going to get to him.

    In this test, David will be tempted to kill those who disrespect him, which is exactly what Saul did to the priests at Nob.

    In 1 Samuel 20 and 21, David is on the run from Saul a man who should love him. Saul is his wife’s father, his best friend Jonathan’s father, and his king, the king whom David loyally served and even risked his life for. And as you would expect, David is frustrated. Every military action he has taken has been to serve Israel. Why is Saul doing this? What is he supposed to do? Fight back or dodge spears forever? How is this affecting the army and the people? What must they be thinking? It looks bad for Saul.

    1 Samuel 18-19:God Provides People to Protect David Mar 11, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In 1 Samuel 18 and 19, David has been transformed overnight from a pesky inquisitive baby brother to a celebrated hero, honored court member, and soon-to-be royal family member. His resume will continue to grow as we read through the 1st and 2nd Samuel.

    But as David’s story builds, a contrasting subplot is being developed. The demise of Saul, the king the people wanted, compared to the rise of David, the king God wanted. Saul, the Bad Shepherd of the people, is contrasted with David the Good Shepherd.

    Saul became a king like all the other nations’ kings, while David was a king with a heart for the Lord. Saul disobeyed the Lord repeatedly without repenting, while David's disobedience will be deeply repented.

    When we left Saul and David, Saul was suffering mentally from an evil spirit. David was summoned to soothe Saul’s nerves on the recommendation of a servant who said he played the lyre well and the Lord was with him.

    It worked; the music was soothing to Saul. Saul liked David and made him an armor bearer. And in 1 Samuel 17, walks Goliath.

    Even though Saul has been told that his descendants will not be king and that God has chosen another man to replace him, that person has not been revealed, and Saul is still the king.

    1 Samuel 15 shows the door still open for Saul to redeem himself in some way in whatever days he has left. An opportunity to find favor with the Lord arrives in the form of an order from Samuel to destroy the Amalekites. Can Saul do the right thing?

    In 1 Samuel 13 and 14, the Israelites are hopeful that Saul is the answer to the long-awaited promise made in Genesis. While it looks to them that Saul is the king--often called the "second Adam"--he is not. His fall comes fast.

    In 1 Samuel 10, 11, and 12, our story has a back-and-forth feel like a game...a chess game.

    In the first seven chapters of 1 Samuel, we learn the story of Samuel himself. In the following six chapters, we learn of the first King of Israel, Saul.

    Israel once again is not satisfied by having the one true God as their king. They want a human ruler and so the search begins...and ends with Saul.

    1 Samuel 4 + 5: Eli Falls and The Ark Takes a Tour of Terror Jan 15, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Chapters 4 and 5 of the Book of 1 Samuel, are part of what is called the ark narrative because they tell the story of the Philistine's victory over Israel and their possession of the ark of the covenant.

    Samuel is absent from these chapters. The focus is on the failure of Eli and his sons as spiritual leaders. The loss of the Ark of the Covenant was a visible symbol of Israel’s broken covenant with God.

    In chapter 7, Samuel is reintroduced to lead Israel to repentance and deliverance from the Philistines. The first scene in chapter 4 begins with a note from the author that Samuel is doing his job. He is spreading the word of God; however, what happens next implies that Israel was not listening.

    1 Samuel 2 + 3: Hannah Sings, Samuel's Called, and Eli Can't Stop His Sinning Sons Jan 08, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In chapters 2 and 3 of the Book of 1 Samuel, the story transitions from Hannah and the birth of her son Samuel who will be the future prophet and priest, to Eli, the current high priest.
    The story of Eli's wicked family is a sad contrast to Samuel's faithful family. Hophni and Phinehas are not qualified to lead the people. But God has provided one last judge to lead Israel and transition the nation to a king. Samuel grows into the judge, priest, and prophet God called him to become.

    1 Samuel Overview + 1: Hannah Cancels Persecution with Prayer Jan 01, 2024

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In chapter 1 of the Book of 1 Samuel, we meet Hannah. At this point in her life, her husband is not enough to bring her joy. She is overwhelmed by her barrenness and prays to God in her distress.
    We see God provide Hannah with a blessing in the form of a son, whom she names Samuel. What Samuel becomes to Israel is where our story gets more interesting!

    Ruth 4: Advent Bonus - Joy Dec 22, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Welcome to the Ruth Advent series! We hope this amazing story will make Advent come alive for you in a new way. We recommend you play Ruth Episode 4 first to listen to the chapter and discussion before listening to this Advent Bonus episode.
    This is the fourth of four bonus episodes from the Book of Ruth that correspond to the birth of Christ a thousand years before his arrival. The Advent focus in this story is joy. The story of Ruth, more than any other in the Old Testament, has a happy ending filled with joy.
    In the final chapter of Ruth joy will arrive in the birth of a baby, but at this Bethlehem birth, there will be no star, no shepherds, and no gifts from the Magi. However, the angels in heaven knew how significant this birth was to that other couple, not Ruth and Boaz, but their distant descendants, Mary and Joseph.

    Welcome to the Ruth Advent series! We hope that this amazing story will make Advent come alive for you in a new way. We recommend you play Ruth 3 Episode 3 first to listen to the chapter and discussion before listening to this Advent Bonus episode.
    This is the third of four bonus episodes from the Book of Ruth that correspond to the birth of Christ a thousand years before his arrival. The Advent focus in this story is faith, and all the main characters of our story (Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz) show their faith in God's plan in their own ways.
    Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. The only way out of the spiral of fear is faith and our leading ladies had just that.

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In chapter 3 of the Book of Ruth, Naomi plays matchmaker with a crazy plan to get Boaz’s attention.
    Naomi is beginning to see some hope in Ruth’s growing relationship with Boaz. But after months of Ruth gleaning in Boaz’s field nothing has happened. So Naomi comes up with a plan of her own. She instructs Ruth to get dressed up and lay at Boaz’s feet while he is sleeping on the threshing floor. It was a dangerous move for Ruth, but she agreed willingly. And so begins an unique love story.

    Ruth 2: Ruth Steps Out & Boaz Steps Up Dec 04, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In chapter 2 of the Book of Ruth, Ruth meets Boaz. The chapter is loaded with five scenes–all conversations between the three main characters, Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz.

    Naomi and Ruth are settled in Bethlehem, but their situation is not good. They need to provide for themselves, but Naomi seems unable to help. Ruth must take matters into her own hands despite the fact that she is the unwelcome Moabite in the little Israelite town of Bethlehem. Ruth steps out in faith and providentially lands in Boaz's field, where Ruth meets Boaz for the first time.

    Boaz steps up and provides for Ruth and Naomi. Conversations happen, and Boaz is intrigued. Ruth is very different from him. He is rich, she is poor. He is a native, she is a foreigner. He is older, she is younger. Yet despite their differences, Boaz sees something more important in Ruth. He sees a genuine faith in God. It attracts his attention, and suddenly, we are in a tale as old as time, with a few twists!

    Welcome to the Ruth Advent series! We hope that this amazing story will make Advent come alive for you in a new way. We recommend you play Ruth 1 Episode 1 first to listen to the chapter and discussion before listening to this Advent Bonus episode.
    This is the first of four bonus episodes from the Book of Ruth that correspond to the birth of Christ a thousand years before his arrival. The Advent focus in this story is hope, something Naomi desperately needs. The story takes place in that same O Little Town of Bethlehem, where unbeknownst to anyone, the dark streets shined with the everlasting light, and the hopes and fears of all the years were going to be met through a faithful couple, not Joseph and Mary, but another couple Boaz and Ruth.

    Ruth 1: Sweet Naomi's Bitter Return Nov 27, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    The story in Ruth begins with Naomi and her family relocating to Moab from Bethlehem due to a famine in Israel, which is ironic given that Bethlehem means "house of bread." Naomi's husband, Elimelek, meaning "my God is king," reflects a connection to the final verse of Judges, stating that in those days, Israel had no king.
    Tragedy befalls Naomi, whose name means sweet, in Moab as her husband and sons die, both having married Moabite women in violation of God's laws for Israel. The marriages, lasted ten years without producing children. Naomi, left in personal famine, a childless widow, learns of the end of the famine in Israel and decides to return, marking a turning point.
    Naomi returns to Israel, empty and bitter. She encourages her daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth, to seek a new beginning with their Moabite families. However, Ruth, displaying unwavering loyalty, chooses to stay with Naomi. This pivotal decision underscores Ruth's unwavering devotion to Naomi and her newfound faith in the God of Israel. Orpah returns to Moab, while Ruth makes a covenant-like pledge to Naomi and the God of Israel.

    The narrative unfolds in Bethlehem, where Naomi's bitterness lingers. Despite being embraced by God and Israel, Ruth remains identified as "Ruth the Moabite," highlighting her foreign status. The story sets the stage for God's providential intervention in the lives of Naomi and Ruth.

    The Book of Ruth is creatively a Christmas Story because the solution to the Israelite's problem, the need for a king, is announced at the end of the Book of Ruth. So, for season 8, the 4 episodes of Ruth will each have a bonus Advent episode. There is much meaning to the song O Little Town of Bethlehem and it starts here in the Book of Ruth!

    Judges 20-21: When Everyone Did as They Saw Fit Nov 20, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In Judges 19-21, we witness a series of horrifying events that epitomize the moral decay in Israel during those dark days. The story unfolds as a street-level view of a nation where everyone does as they see fit.

    The Levite, who had shown a complete lack of compassion for his concubine, takes a gruesome turn. Upon returning home, he cuts her into twelve pieces and sends them throughout Israel, provoking outrage and a call for action.

    The Israelites' initial shock and motivation to address the atrocity led to three battles and devastating losses. They eventually secure victory over the tribe of Benjamin, but the cost is incredibly high.

    In a devastating conflict, Israel turns against its own in a brutal battle. The horrifying death toll reveals the depths to which the nation has fallen.

    With the tribe of Benjamin at risk of extinction, the Israelites devise a disturbing plan to provide wives for the remaining bachelors, including killing the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead. The story concludes with a deep sense of moral decay and a reminder of the Israelites' broken relationship with God and one another.

    Judges 17-19: The Dark Days of Israel Nov 13, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In Chapters 17-19 of the Book of Judges, we delve into the grim realities of a time when Israel had lost its moral compass. These chapters offer a street-level perspective on the chaotic lives of the people, each person living as they saw fit.

    We begin with the story of Micah, a man who attempted to manipulate God's favor through a lost Levite. However, the Levite's stay was short-lived, and he eventually departed, leading to further loss and confusion. The tribe of Dan, equally lost, had also lost their land and seemed to have lost their connection to God.

    As the narrative unfolds, we encounter another Levite who makes a horrifying decision. In a desperate attempt to save himself from a gang of rapists, he sacrifices his concubine, a deeply disturbing act that reveals the depths of moral decay and depravity that had engulfed the land during these dark days of Israel.

    Judges 15-16: Samson's Cycle of Retaliation and Revenge Nov 06, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In this gripping episode, we dive into the intense narrative of Judges Chapters 15 and 16, which chronicles the relentless conflict between Samson and the Philistines. This cycle of revenge and retaliation begins with a shocking betrayal by Samson's new father-in-law, who gives his wife to a Philistine groomsman, inciting Samson's fiery response of burning the Philistine crops.

    The situation escalates as the Philistines respond with a horrifying act, burning Samson's new wife and father-in-law to death. Samson's vengeance is swift and brutal, leading to further bloodshed. The Philistines, determined to capture Samson, resort to threats against the tribe of Judah for his capture.

    Amid these tumultuous events, we witness Samson's incredible feat of single-handedly defeating a thousand Philistines using nothing but a donkey's jawbone. The tension rises as the Philistines plot to ensnare Samson through the cunning Delilah, leading to his ultimate betrayal and capture.


    With his eyes gouged out and imprisoned, Samson's faith and strength in God are rekindled in a stunning climax, culminating in a final, heroic act of sacrifice, toppling a Philistine temple on himself and 3,000 Philistines. Join us as we unravel the thrilling and dramatic saga of Samson's quest for revenge and eventual redemption.

    Judges 13-14: Samson's Obsession with Self-Gratification Oct 30, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In this episode, we journey through Judges 13-14 exploring the brief mention of the last three minor judges: Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon. Their stories set the stage marked by the ominous phrase, "again, the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord,” giving way to our meeting of the final judge, Samson; the most famous, and arguably worst, judge of all.

    The Angel of the Lord heralds his birth with great promise, raising our expectations for his role in saving Israel. However, right from the start, Samson's insatiable attraction to women, a mark of his greater character flaw, self-gratification, takes center stage. Instead of focusing on his divine mission, he impulsively marries a Philistine woman, much to his parents' dismay.

    The narrative unfolds as Samson insists on his own desires, resulting in a dead lion, a contentious wedding, 30 Philistine groomsmen, and mounting tensions with the Philistines, in this enthralling episode.

    Judges 10-12: Jephthah the Outcast Judge Oct 23, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In this podcast episode, we witness the Israelites caught in a familiar cycle of wrongdoing and crying out to God for help. Surprisingly, they appoint Jephthah, an outcast, as their leader. Jephthah's tale takes a sorrowful turn when, lacking knowledge of the covenantal history between God and the Israelites, he makes a rash vow to God. He promises to sacrifice the first living being to greet him upon his return if granted victory over the Ammonites. Tragically, it is his own daughter who emerges after their triumph, and Jephthah feels compelled to fulfill his vow.
    Chapter 12 delves into the aftermath of the battle, where brewing envy consumes the Ephraimites. Their discontent ignites when they accuse Jephthah of excluding them from the battle, setting the stage for a turbulent confrontation. Jephthah and the Gileadite men find themselves ironically in conflict with their fellow Israelites, the Ephraimites, resulting in the loss of 42,000 Ephraimite lives at Jephthah's hands. Join us as we unravel the intricacies of Jephthah's leadership, his impulsive decisions, and the profound lessons contained in this gripping narrative.

    Judges 8-10: Abimelek’s Ascent: The Son Who Killed to be King Oct 16, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In this episode, we meet Gideon's illegitimate son, Abimelek. Abimelek's rise to power is full of violence toward strangers and family alike.
    Abimelech cut a deal with the people of Shechem to become king. His first task was to assassinate his 70 brothers, except for one. The one who escaped, Jotham, appeared at Mount Gerizim and told a fable about Abimelech, the thornbush.

    God avenged the death of Gideon's sons by stirring up dissension between Abimelech and the people. Abimelech killed the people of Shechem, but was himself killed by a stone thrown by a woman.

    The chapter then concludes with two short descriptions of the minor judges Tola and Jair.

    Judges 6-8:Gideon’s Fleeces and Flaws Oct 09, 2023

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Chapter 6-8 of Judges describes the story of Gideon, a deeply flawed judge who really wanted to be king. Despite his flaws, Gideon was also a man of great faith who was used by God to deliver the Israelites from the Midianites.

    Gideon's faith was put to the test when God called him to lead the Israelites to victory. Gideon was initially reluctant and asked for signs from God to confirm His calling. God gave Gideon two signs, which helped to build Gideon's faith.

    God then tested Gideon's trust in Him by eliminating the fearful men and the men who drank on their knees from Gideon's army. This left Gideon with only 300 men, but these men were all brave and trusted God.

    Gideon still needed more assurance, so God gave him a dream about a loaf of barley bread that rolled into the Midianite camp and destroyed a tent. This dream symbolized Gideon's victory over the Midianites.

    Gideon led his 300 men to victory over the Midianites, but he was not without his flaws. In a fit of rage and revenge, he tortured the men of Sukkoth and killed the men of Peniel. He also asked for a tribute of gold from the people and used it to make an ephod, which led the Israelites back into idolatry.

    Despite his flaws, Gideon was a man of great faith who was used by God to deliver the Israelites from the Midianites. His story teaches us that God can use anyone, no matter how flawed, to accomplish His purposes.

    This episode covers Deuteronomy 12 and 13! We are still in the "Just Do It" sermon but part 2. Moses is deeply concerned about the faith crisis Israel may face in Canaan.
    Moses is looking off to the future, seeing the path to the Promised Land, and strategizing the best plays. Like any good coach, he goes over some new plays to win the game because no matter what the new opposition brings, the Israelites still need to play according to God's rules to win.

    Leviticus 8-10: No Room for Error Jul 18, 2022

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In Leviticus 8-10, we take a break from law school to focus on the priests' ordination. As we see the grand opening of the tabernacle for worship and offerings, we need the priests to be ready to handle all the instructions regarding the tabernacle activities. The ordination readies the priests for the holy requirement the role requires.
    While an honor, priests were held to a higher standard meaning they had no room for error as we will see...

    Leviticus 6-7: What the World Missed in Leviticus Jul 11, 2022

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Leviticus 6-7 might appear repetitive to the untrained ear but it's not! While Moses does repeat the offering details we have heard in previous chapters, there is one nuance here--the laws were instructions to the priests rather than to the people. While the people needed to know how and what to offer, the priests needed instructions on how to make those offerings too. It all worked together.

    Leviticus1-3: Ritual Law School Part One Jun 27, 2022

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    What comes to mind when we hear the word 'ritual'? Although rituals can get a bad rap, the rituals laid out by God to Moses and the Israelites had multiple purposes. They acted as reminders, visible symbols, and even helped to bridge the gap for the Israelites between their world and God's world.
    Are you intrigued yet? Listen in as Susan and Heather unlock the reason behind the various burnt, grain, and fellowship offerings prescribed to the Israelites in Leviticus 1-3.

    We are getting to the end of the fight between God and Egypt in Exodus 9-10. In the last few rounds, God sends a loud message to Pharoah and the Egyptians that can't be ignored. Let's get into it!

    • Have you made any promises to God or others that you changed your mind about and have not kept?

    Exodus 6-7: Aaron Takes the Lead for His Little Brother Feb 07, 2022

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    Before now, Exodus identified who God will use to deliver the Israelites from the Egyptians. Now, in Exodus 6 and 7, our story turns to how God will deliver the Israelites---i.e. plagues. (And they aren't pretty.) Buckle up for today's discussion!

    Questions

    • Do you know and acknowledge your doubts or weaknesses? What are they and do you take them to God?
    • You may not worship gods that look like bugs or animals as the Egyptians did, but we all have idols. What are yours? Your reputation? Your money? Your phone? Another person?
    • There is a difference between Moses’ resisting God and Pharaoh’s fighting God. Are you fighting against God in any area of your life? Do you obey God sometimes, but other times try to compromise?

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In Exodus 5 and 6, we see Moses and Aaron in obedience to God take on Pharaoh at the sweet ages of 83 and 80. Settle in as Susan and Heather set the stage of how this would have appeared in the Egyptian court and how Moses handles failure this time around.
    We are happy you are part of the club. Make sure to take a peek at the show notes below for Hayley's recap!
    Questions

    • When you make a mistake, what do you do first? Sulk, hide, or pray in humility for wisdom?
    • When you are doing God’s work, let’s say trying to serve a surly, suffering, co-worker, and they reject you. Do you give up? Or do you turn back to God in prayer asking him to go before you and soften their heart, give you better words and ways to reach them?
    • Moses is clearly frustrated and blaming God in his prayer. He asks why? What are you frustrated with? How have you cried out to God? How have you seen Him answer
    • What patterns in your life threaten to take you off the path and plan God has for you?

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

    In Exodus 4, join Susan and Heather as they discuss the cycle of doubt that Moses follows with God. God persists and eventually, Moses obeys but it isn't without a few excuses attempted first! Sound familiar?

    Questions

    • How have you failed? Are you trying to hide in obscurity? Do you think that you don’t deserve a future?
      • What did you learn from your failure or time in the desert?
      • How has God used that lesson you learned to fortify your future??
    • Do you fear that people won’t take you seriously? Do you doubt that you can be used by God to lead others for Him or to Him? Is your focus more on you than God?
    • What excuses do you give to opt-out of God’s plan? And is it because you don’t believe God has the power to do it through you?

    • Do you ever feel like Moses, adrift for years, passionate but not useful? Or maybe like the Israelites, suffering so much it is a struggle to believe that God is going to redeem your life?

    We have made it through Genesis and now we pick up in Exodus (with 400 years of silence between the two books). Exodus gives us much more detail than we saw in Genesis and so to me, the story picks up a bit. Join the Bible Book Club as we take on book #2.

    We made it! Genesis 50, the chapter to end the great book of Genesis. We just left Jacob blessing his 12 sons with prophetic words about the future of their tribes. Jacob then passes away and here, in Genesis 50, we see Joseph take charge. Joseph rallies his family to honor Jacob in a great way and stays the voice of reason through it all for his dramatic brothers.

    Joseph is quite the character. Jacob's favorite son endures more than his fair of suffering, often by those close to him. Yet, God continues to show him favor throughout his suffering and blesses him. Life was anything by easy for this man who foreshadows Jesus for us.

    In today's episode, we see Judah and Tamar. Tamar's strong character is displayed in this twisted story while Judah has some growing and learning to do. While this story seems to just get crazier and crazier, it just reconfirms for me how forgiving God is through Jesus for us. Buckle in!

    Genesis 36-37: O Brother (Joseph), Where Art Thou? Oct 11, 2021

    We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!


    Two heavy hitters: Esau and Joseph are mentioned in Genesis 36 and 37. Esau says goodbye but not without making an impact. Esau and Jacob's behavior of brotherly fighting have been passed down to Jacob's sons. Jacob's favorite son, Joseph upset his brothers so much that they consider murder but settle for human trafficking--selling their brother for some silver. Needless to say, it's not a great day for God's chosen family.
    While there are some definitive dark moments between some family members, hang on to hope as we will see God continues to redeem this family as we come closer to wrapping up Genesis. We are happy you are part of the club. Make sure to take a peek at the show notes below for Hayley's recap!
