We are in WEEK 5 of our plan. In this episode, Janelle discusses the transition from the era of Moses and Joshua to the time of the judges, highlighting the dramatic narratives found in the book of Judges, the themes of redemption in Ruth, and the introduction of kingship in 1 Samuel. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context and the spiritual lessons that emerge from these texts, particularly the rejection of God's authority by His people and the foreshadowing of Jesus as the ultimate fulfillment of the roles of judge, prophet, priest, shepherd, and king.
