Podcast Description: The Book of Ruth – A Journey of Redemption and Faith

In this special series of "The Rock's Podcast," hosted by Sam Lights, we dive into one of the most moving and powerful stories of the Bible: The Book of Ruth. Set during a time of hardship and loss, Ruth’s journey is one of unwavering loyalty, redemption, and the unexpected blessings that come from faith.

Across four episodes, we explore each chapter of Ruth 1-4 (NLT):

• Episode 1: Ruth 1: The Loyalty of Ruth After tragedy strikes, Naomi and her daughters-in-law are left to make difficult decisions. In this episode, we discuss Ruth’s steadfast loyalty to Naomi and her choice to leave behind her homeland of Moab to embrace a future unknown in Judah.
• Episode 2: Ruth 2: Provision in the Fields of Boaz Ruth’s faith leads her to the fields of Boaz, a man of kindness and integrity. We explore the themes of divine providence, kindness to strangers, and how Ruth’s humble work ethic brings unexpected favor.
• Episode 3: Ruth 3: A Bold Act of Faith In this episode, we unpack Ruth’s courageous act in approaching Boaz at the threshing floor, symbolizing her deep trust in God’s plan. We discuss cultural customs of the time and the significance of Boaz’s response.
• Episode 4: Ruth 4: Redemption and Legacy The story concludes with a beautiful picture of redemption as Boaz steps in to fulfill the role of kinsman-redeemer. Ruth’s faithfulness and loyalty culminate in a legacy that points directly to King David and the lineage of Jesus Christ.
