Letters From Home

We're all a long way from home.

That's the thing the Bible keeps trying to tell us. We're sojourners. Pilgrims. People walking a road we can't see the end of. And the whole canon of Scripture — Moses, the prophets, the Psalms, the Gospels, Paul writing from a Roman prison — is mail for people still on the road. Sent by a Father who has not forgotten where we belong.

Letters from Home is a daily Bible teaching podcast with host Hank Garner. Each weekday, we open one letter and read it slow. Monday through Thursday lays the groundwork — the context, the language, the lives behind the words. Friday, the message lands.

No yelling. No hot takes. No twelve-step takeaways. Just Scripture, opened with care, for the kind of people who keep their Bibles dog-eared and their questions honest.

If you're homesick for somewhere you've never been — that's not a problem. That's the address on the envelope.

Pull up a chair. There's mail.

    Letter 038 — The Story: A Threshing Floor, a City Gate, a Baby (Ruth)
    2026/07/01

    A foreign widow gleans in the field of a kinsman. A midnight scene on a threshing floor. A redemption at the city gate. A baby in the arms of a grandmother who had renamed herself Bitter.

    In this letter

    - Walking the four chapters of Ruth

    - Davaq (H1692) — Ruth's clinging, the same Hebrew word as Genesis 2:24

    - Bethlehem as house of bread, the irony of the famine

    - The gleaning law (Lev 19:9-10, Deut 24:19)

    - Boaz's hesed toward Ruth in the field

    - Under your wing — Boaz's prayer becomes Ruth's request

    - The threshing floor scene, slow

    - The redemption at the city gate

    - Obed, Jesse, David

    Scripture

    - Ruth 1-4 (full)

    - Genesis 2:24 (the davaq parallel)

    - Leviticus 19:9-10 (gleaning law, referenced)

    Hebrew word studies

    - davaq (דָּבַק, Strong's H1692) — to cling, to be joined. The marriage word.

    - hesed (חֶסֶד, H2617) — covenant lovingkindness. Carried from Week 4.

  • Letter 037 — The Sender: The Outsider in the Family Tree (Ruth)

    Letter 037 — The Sender: The Outsider in the Family Tree (Ruth)
    2026/06/30

    Tradition says Samuel wrote it. The text doesn't name an author. But someone decided a Moabite widow's story needed to be preserved — and the genealogy at the end shows you why.

    In this letter

    - The mystery of authorship — Samuel and the Talmudic tradition

    - The period of the judges as historical setting

    - Why Moabites were forbidden from the assembly of the Lord (Deut 23:3)

    - Ruth in the Hebrew Ketuvim (Writings) and the Megillot (festival scrolls)

    - Why Ruth is read at Shavuot / Pentecost

    - Matthew 1 and the women in the line of Christ

    - The family tree of the Messiah, built from outsiders

    Scripture

    - Ruth 1:1 (the historical setting)

    - Deuteronomy 23:3 (the Moabite exclusion)

    - Judges 21:25 (the world Ruth was set in)

    - Matthew 1:1-17 (referenced)

    Coming tomorrow | The Story. Four chapters, walked slow.

  • Letter 036 — The Envelope: Where You Go (Ruth 1)

    Letter 036 — The Envelope: Where You Go (Ruth 1)
    2026/06/29

    A short book about a foreign widow. Three deaths. A dirt road. A vow no one expected. Where you go, I will go. And the family line of Christ grew out of it.

    In this letter

    - Setting the book of Ruth — four chapters, the period of the judges

    - A slow read of Ruth 1 (NKJV)

    - The setup — famine in Bethlehem, the move to Moab, the three deaths

    - The dirt road and the kiss goodbye

    - The famous vow — Entreat me not to leave you

    - Naomi renaming herself Mara (bitter)

    Scripture

    - Ruth 1

    Coming tomorrow | The Sender. The outsider in the family tree of David.

    > There'll be more mail tomorrow.
