    Judges 9 | From Hero's Son to Tyrant: The Rise and Fall of Abimelech

    When you pick a thorn bush as your king, don’t be surprised when it ends painfully. In this episode, Adam and Kevin dive into the dark and violent chapter of Abimelech—Gideon’s son who chose ambition over his father’s legacy. We explore the messy aftermath of Gideon's death and a generational shift where the people of Israel quickly forget the God who delivered them. In this episode, we discuss: The Rise of a Mercenary: How Abimelech used thugs to eliminate his 70 brothers and seize power. Jotham’s Allegory: A deep dive into the "Parable of the Trees" and why the most useful people are usually too busy being fruitful to seek fame. Gaal’s Big Talk: How a boastful mouth led to a brutal civil war in Shechem. Poetic Justice: The shocking end of Abimelech’s life involving a millstone, an unnamed woman, and a desperate attempt to save his reputation. Leadership Lessons: Why the church is the vehicle for goodness on the planet and how we must distinguish between charismatic leaders and those with true character. Scriptures Covered: Judges 9 Psalm 9:15-16 Proverbs 16:18 Galatians 6:7 Connect with us: If you're enjoying our verse-by-verse study through the Book of Judges, please leave a 5-star review!

    Judges 8 | From Hero to Idol: The Tragic End of Gideon’s Story

    The trumpets have stopped, the Midianites are on the run, and Gideon is the hero of the hour. But as we dive into Judges 8, we see that the end of Gideon’s story isn't all "roses." Join Adam and Kevin as they wrap up the story of Israel’s famous judge. From the brutal pursuit of Zeba and Zalmunna to the "strange bookend" of a golden ephod that became a snare to his family, we explore the messy reality of what happens after a miracle. In this episode, we discuss: The Exhausting Pursuit: Why Gideon was "exhausting yet pursuing" and the harsh lessons he taught the men of Succoth and Penuel. The King Slayer: Gideon’s attempt to pass the legacy to his son, Jethur, and why the "glory" of the kill mattered in ancient warfare. The Golden Snare: Gideon turns down the crown, yet creates a "war memorial" that leads Israel right back into spiritual whoredom. Modern Parallels: A deep dive into national pride, "American Christianity," and why we must put our trust in the Eternal King rather than human princes. Scriptures Covered: Judges 8 (Primary Text) Psalm 146:3-4 (Putting trust in God, not man) Hebrews 12:1-2 (Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith) Connect with us: If this study helped you, please leave a 5-star review!

    300 Men vs. The Horde: Gideon’s Strange Victory (Judges 7)

    We are back in the book of Judges! This week, Adam and Kevin break down the famous story of Gideon and the 300. In Judges 7, God does something confusing: He tells Gideon his army is too big. We discuss why God strips away Gideon's resources, the strange dream about a barley loaf that predicted the victory, and how 300 men with trumpets and jars routed an entire empire. We also touch on the start of Chapter 8, where Gideon navigates a tense conflict with the tribe of Ephraim. Note: We are taking a one-week break for travel and will return the following week!

    Is It Wrong to Test God? (Judges 6)

    We are back in the Book of Judges! This week, Kevin and Adam study the story of Gideon in Judges chapter 6. We explore how God finds Gideon hiding in a winepress but calls him a "Mighty Man of Valor." Key topics include: The cycle of Israel's rebellion and Midianite oppression. Tearing down the idols in our own families. The "Fleece Test": Was Gideon right to ask for a sign, or was he testing God's patience? Join us as we discuss how God uses imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will.

    Judges 4–5: Deborah, Barak, and God’s Victory Song

    Deborah and Barak show us what happens when God leads the fight. Judges 4 tells the story, and Judges 5 sings it back as a victory song. In this episode, Kevin and Adam walk through the big moments: the enemy’s iron chariots, the Kishon torrent angle, Barak’s “If you go, I’ll go” moment, and Jael’s jaw-dropping finish. If you’re in a season where fear feels loud, this one is for you.

    The Left-Handed Assassin & The Ox Goad (Judges 2-3)

    Episode Summary: Did you know the Bible features a left-handed assassin who tricks a king with a "secret message"? Or a man who defeats an army with a farming tool? In this episode, Adam and Kevin continue their 2026 journey through the Book of Judges. We move from the history and setup into the first real action of the book, covering Judges Chapters 2 and 3.

Then, we dive into the wild stories of the first three deliverers: Othniel, Ehud, and Shamgar. Key Topics: The Cycle Explained: Why Israel kept returning to idols and how God used enemies to test their faith. +2 The Danger of Drift: How intermingling with the culture led the people astray. +1 Othniel: The first judge and the importance of a godly lineage. Ehud’s Assassination Plot: A deep dive into the "locked room" mystery, the 18-inch concealed dagger, and the assassination of King Eglon. +3 Shamgar: How God used a simple ox goad (a pointy stick) to defeat 600 Philistines. +1 Scripture References: Judges 2:16-23 Judges 3:7-11 (Othniel) Judges 3:12-30 (Ehud) Judges 3:31 (Shamgar) Join the Conversation: We’d love to hear from you!
