Judges 8 & 9

Judges 17 & 18

Christian is joined this week by Joe Dea of BuddyWalk With Jesus (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/buddywalk-with-jesus/id1509279473) to discuss Judges 17 and 18. Is Judges in chronological order? How does inerrancy matter when interpreting scripture? What is the sin of Micah and his family? What is the true identity of the Levite priest and what does this mean? How are we to read scripture correctly? What is the sin of the Danites? Are the people of Laish innocents? What does it mean for Israel to do what it wants when they have no king?

Judges 15 & 16

How does Samson's story end? What is his fatal flaw? Was Samson ever saved? Who was Delilah and was she an Israelite or Philistine? How does God direct Samson to his lowest point and save him and still be considered righteous?

Judges 13 & 14

How does Israel descend into sin yet again? How does the Angel of the Lord prove Himself as Jesus? What are the sins of the Danites? How did the Philistines oppress Israel? Who are Samson's parents and why did he have to become a Nazarite? What are Samson's sins and how does God still use him? How does Samson start to break his vows? How does God still get glory despite Samson's sins?

Judges 10, 11, & 12

Christian is joined once more by Karai Roe of the Foreign Saint's Podcast: * https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-foreign-saints-podcast/id1679032899 * https://www.youtube.com/@ForeignSaints3420 Who are the lesser judges and why do they matter? How does Israel slide back into sin again? Why is Jephthah ostracized by his half-brothers? Does Jephthah serve as a typology of Jesus, a proto-David figure, or perhaps both? Why is Ammon's reason for fighting Israel foolish? How do we fight against people who use false arguments to defend their points-of-view? Did Jephthah sacrifice his daughter to God? Can someone do such a heinous act and still be considered faithful? Did anyone command him to do so? How does his story end?

Judges 8 & 9

How does Gideon prove to be a good and bad leader? How does God work despite Gideon's actions? Why is it wrong for Gideon to be treated as a king? Who is Abimelech and what are his sins? Is Judges too depressing and dark for Christians to read?
