Let Nothing Move You

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?

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?

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?

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?

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?

How does Israel spiral into sin yet again? What can we learn from this? How does God preserve them despite this? Why does He at the same time send Midian and Amalek to torment them? How does Gideon show both faith and fear? How bold should we be with our faith? Why does God tell Gideon to lower his forces before they attack their enemies? Why is confusion a great strategy to use against our enemies?

Who are Deborah and Barak? Does the Bible allow for female leadership in the church? Who is Jael and why is she important? Are we to kill the sin in our lives? How did God protect Israel from themselves?

Christian is joined once more by Brandon Knight of My Seminary Life (https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/my-seminary-life/id1558302469) to discuss Judges 3.

Who are the nations God leaves to oppress Israel for their apostasy? Why would He do this? How does Othniel serve as Israel's first judge? How does Ehud lead differently? Is the Bible allowed to be graphic? Who is Shamgar and why does he matter?

Who wrote the Book of Judges? Why was it written? How does Judah and Israel start off successfully in their service to God only to fall into sin? What is Israel's sin against God? Are there true contradictions in the Bible? Can God be defeated by iron chariots? Why does the Angel of the Lord (Jesus) appear to the people? What is the judgment God brings to Israel and how does He soften this by offering judges to save Israel at the same time?

This week Christian is joined once more by Brandon Knight of the My Seminary Life podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/my-seminary-life/id1558302469) to discuss Joshua 23 and 24.

Why didn't Joshua select a leader after his command of Israel? How does Joshua use his last moments before his death to encourage Israel? What is the price of not serving God? What is the purpose of Joshua's history lesson? What does it mean for one's house to serve God and what doesn't it mean? How does Israel testify against itself? How does Israel show faithfulness before their eventual apostasy?
