Ep. 51 Cover to Cover Joshua 24-25, Judges, Ruth + 1 Samuel 1-13

<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong></p><p>A new generation has risen in Israel and shocker of all shockers- they have abandoned the God who rescued them to pursue their own ways. They did what was right in their own eyes believing they could serve both God and &quot;gods.&quot; However, we must choose one. Although Judges shows how far we can stray, Ruth and 1 Samuel remind us that God has never forgotten his promise. </p><p><strong>In this episode you will hear:</strong></p><p>- First, am I listening to the Shepherd&#39;s voice or my own? How do I know if I am? In Judges, the next generation of Israelites abandoned the ways of the Lord taught by Moses and Joshua to follow their own ways. Though we don&#39;t like to think so, we are more like them than different. So, how do we learn our Shepherd&#39;s voice?</p><p>- Second, the story of Ruth reminds us that in the chaos of Judges, God had not forgotten his promise. It&#39;s a bright spot to see God&#39;s faithfulness. Through the love story of Ruth and Boaz will come the world&#39;s greatest redemption.</p><p>- Finally, in Hannah, we are reminded that God meets our greatest needs. While God grants Hannah a baby and even a couple more after Samuel&#39;s birth, it wasn&#39;t a baby that Hannah so desperately needed, but to know that she wasn&#39;t alone in her situation. God saw her and cared for her. Don&#39;t we all need that hope?</p><p><strong>Resources mentioned:</strong></p><p>- <a href="tasteandseek.org/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cover to Cover⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> Bible Reading Plan⁠⁠</p><p><strong>Have you gotten your </strong><a href="https://tasteandseek.org/event/anchored-2026/">⁠⁠⁠<strong>Anchored</strong>⁠⁠⁠</a><strong> Ticket yet?</strong></p><p>Coming May 2, 2026 at Horizon Church in Allentown, PA comes a gathering for women unlike any other in the Lehigh Valley.</p><p><a href="https://tasteandseek.org/event/anchored-2026/">⁠⁠⁠Anchored: in peace⁠⁠⁠</a> will fill you with encouragement and renewed hope as you worship and learn alongside your sisters in Christ. <a href="https://tasteandseek.org/event/anchored-2026/">⁠⁠⁠Check out the link ⁠⁠⁠</a>for more details and we&#39;ll see you in May!</p><p><strong>Connect with T+S!</strong></p><p>Are you liking the episodes and want to connect more?
