Ruth: The Role of Women in Christian Education

1 Samuel: An Audience of One

Chapter 2: Hannah's song. Poetry as a craft written to an audience of one--God. Eli's sons and Samuel. How to apply, appoint, and appraise the talents of those called by God, and what that means about anointing. Chapter 8: Israel's infamous demand for a king. What this reveals to us about the nature of government, and why that matters for teaching social studies, government, and political science. Chapter 9: The anointing of Saul. Rites of passage, what they mean, why they must be taken very solemnly. Chapters 13-14: Saul and Jonathan's rash mistakes. The importance of both method and theory in learning. David's status as a musician!

Judges: A “how not to” guide for educators

Joined by Pastor Devon Williams of California, Bobby Lopez explores the Book of Judges as a "how not to" guide for educators. Most Bible students have been taught to view Judges as a book about failure but here Devon and Bobby go deeper to examine why it failed. Though there were moments of virtue, the great heroes like Ehud and Gideon did not have a way of passing their victories on the next generation. The failure was a failure to teach.
