Episode 2 | Ruth 1:6-22

After finishing the book of Judges, we're stepping into the beautiful story of Ruth. But this story begins with heartbreak, loss, famine, and an uncertain future.

In this episode, Cathe Laurie reminds us that God doesn't need a perfect environment to do a powerful work. Even in seasons of sorrow, when we don't understand why God has allowed something or how things will turn out, He is still at work.

Faith doesn't mean we won't experience pain or have questions. It means we know where to take our hurt. Join us as we begin the book of Ruth and discover that even when we can't see what God is doing, we can trust that He is writing a story of redemption.

Episode 1 |  Ruth 1:1-5

In this episode, Pastor KC McCauley kicks off our 7-week study with an introduction on two themes that run through the whole book: God’s providence and kindness. It’s set in the same dark days as Judges, but this time we see God working through one faithful family to bring them from famine to fullness. That family line leads to King David, and ultimately to Jesus, our true kinsman Redeemer. We’ll also see great examples of biblical manhood and womanhood in Boaz and Ruth. Let’s lean into this study, because discipleship happens together!

Book of Ruth Introduction

Even in the darkest chapters of Judges, we are reminded that God is still at work and His story is far from over. In Judges 17–21, Melanie Brown shows us the dangers of compromise and doing what is right in our own eyes, while encouraging us to remain faithful to God’s Word and His calling. Ultimately, Judges points us beyond the darkness and leaves us longing for our righteous Judge and rightful King—Jesus!

Episode 6 | Judges 17-21

Today on the Virtue Podcast, with Wendy MacGinnis, we’re in Judges 13–16, looking at the life of Samson—a man uniquely gifted by God and given a specific purpose, yet one who repeatedly chose what seemed right in his own eyes.

Wendy reminds us that while Samson played the champion, he often failed to act as a leader. His story warns us what can happen when pride, desire, and self-reliance get in the way of using God’s gifts for His purposes.

Episode 5 | Judges 13-16

In this week’s Virtue podcast, Sue Mills walks us through Judges 8:32–12:15, looking specifically at Abimelech and Jephthah. Their stories remind us how easily other things can begin to take God’s place in our hearts and how tempting it can be to take matters into our own hands when we’re waiting for God to make things right. Sue encourages us to run to the Lord, trust His timing, and guard against anger and bitterness taking root. In the battles we face every day, we want to be women who walk in the Spirit and keep the Lord first.

Episode 4 |  Judges 8-12

Today’s Virtue podcast reminds us that God is a Redeemer of all things! In Judges 6–8, Christi Robillard walks us through Gideon’s journey from a fearful leader, to a successful leader, and ultimately, a prideful leader. Gideon’s story reminds us that God meets us in our fear, but also warns us that success can quietly lead to pride. A powerful reminder to stay humble, watchful, and surrendered to Him.

Episode 3 | Judges 6-8

Judges 3–5 reads a little more like a Marvel movie than a chick flick—full of battles, unlikely heroes, and unexpected victories! Shelley Hurley reminds us that God uses ordinary people who are willing to be anointed, armed, awakened, and available. And because of Jesus, we don’t fight for victory, we fight from victory.

Episode 2 | Judges 3-5

In this episode of the Virtue Podcast, Cathe Laurie takes us into the book of Judges to uncover how small compromises can lead to captivity and how easily we can forget the faithfulness of God. She challenges us to consider where “I can’t” may really mean “I won’t,” and how the things we choose can eventually begin choosing for us. Through it all, Judges reminds us of our need for a greater Deliverer, Jesus, the One who rescues, restores, and sets us truly free.
