Summary

Welcome to the book of Judges! Fr. Mike foreshadows the events of Judges, and the cycle of disobedience we'll continue to see Israel go through. He also gives some context on the book of Ruth, and how we can find grace within the frustrating moments of Scripture. Today's readings are Judges 1-3, Ruth 1, and Psalm 133.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible any year podcast, where we
0:08.0	encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible Any Year podcast is brought to you
0:12.9	by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation,
0:18.2	discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that
0:20.9	story today. It is Day 89, and we are reading today from a new book, actually two new books.
0:25.9	We're reading from Judges and from Ruth. Judges chapters 1, 2, and 3, as well as Ruth
0:31.0	chapter 1. We'll also be praying today from Psalm 133. As always, you probably know this. I'm reading
0:37.2	from the revised standard version,
0:38.8	second Catholic edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to
0:42.2	download your own Bible in a year reading plan, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible
0:46.7	in a year. And you can subscribe to this podcast in your podcast app, wherever you listen

1:00.4	judges is phenomenal. And it is phenomenal not because it's a great story. It is more like you just
1:05.7	kind of ventured into some really incredible and incredibly dark history. And so what's going to happen is in the next
1:12.5	number of days as we walk through the book of judges is we are going to hear some stories that
1:16.4	are familiar, maybe like stories about Deborah, maybe stories about jail, maybe stories about
1:21.3	Samson. These are going to be some stories that we are, as I said, relatively familiar with.
1:27.2	We might not be entirely familiar with all
1:29.4	of the details. And the details are pretty horrible and they get worse. The book of judges
1:36.8	begins in the dark and ends even darker. So just heads up. That is my disclaimer that,
1:43.0	yeah, this is real, real stuff today on day 89,
