We tried something new in this podcast. Bryan popped into "the studio" randomly to share some thoughts he had while he was studying and reviewing the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18.

Because of the dollar amount (not really in dollars though), Bryan saw connections between the story of Esther and Matthew 18. When you overlay the characters from Esther onto Jesus' parable it adds a new twist to the end of the parable that hits closer to home.

Join us as we discuss forgiveness and add another level to the depths we are called to forgive.

Parental Warning - Because we are following the text, there are horrific details Erika talks about in this episode.

We've come to the end of Judges. The people have become like the nations around them (the author even lets us know that with his particular wording). One sinful act has become the actions of the entire nation.

The end feels empty and wrong. The reader is left wanting to start over with a new way to run the nation (Anyone willing to try and see what life is like with a king? Maybe that will be more successful.)

Even though the final story is heartbreaking - much like the majority of the book - Erika points out how we see God's chesed all over the place.

The Levite in chapter 20 summons all of Israel, and they respond. His words lead them to rise against their own kin. But where is God in this story? What was His will for them? Was this truly the best way to address the grievous wrong done to the Levite’s concubine?

This chapter in Scripture is not suitable for young children so listen without young ears around.

Judges 19 presents a challenging and deeply troubling narrative. Erika guides us through this chapter, shedding light on how events unfold to result in the grievous harm inflicted on a woman by her own husband and the community around him.

The narrator breaks through at the end of the chapter with a call to Israel that we would do well to heed as well.

Samson did what was right in his own eyes.

Now we will watch as the tribe of Dan does what is right in their own eyes.

When you read this chapter, it's easy to think they are doing what God wants because we see and read about religious items and God's name being used....but it's time to look deeper. It's time to connect some dots in this story to see what's really going on.

This story has a surprising twist at the end as well.

We've finished judging the judges, but the story is not over.

It's time to start to wrap up the book by looking at the people and the Levites. Remember this chapter links back to Judges 2. Erika explains what is going on in this chapter and shows us who has been missing while we studied the judges.

In this episode we uncover the intricate dynamics between a mighty man brought low by his own vulnerabilities (WOMEN) and a cunning woman whose name echoes through history as a symbol of deceit.

Children's Bibles would have you believe Samson turned to God in the end and God redeemed Samson's life through his death. BUT is that really what happened?

Revenge and retaliation would be a good title for Samson's encounters with the Philistines. Upon learning his marriage is over, Samson seeks revenge. When the Philistines see Samson's revenge, they retaliate. Finally, the tribe of Judah gets involved just to maintain the status quo with the Philistines. But it doesn't end there.

Find out what happens as we set the stage for the next chapter.
