About this episode

The episode explores the themes of redemption and reliance on God's promises through the story of Ruth.

We live in an age of precision GPS, yet people feel more lost than ever. We begin our 5-week series "Redeeming Love," and dive into the opening verses of Ruth. We discuss the irony of a "breadless" Bethlehem, the dangerous allure of seeking provision outside of God’s promises, and how God uses even our missteps to guide us toward redemption in Jesus Christ.
