01:12:54
What happens to a covenant people when they repeatedly abandon God, fall into oppression, cry out for deliverance, and then do it all over again? Dr. Lori Denning explores the Book of Judges as a cautionary tale of broken covenants, unexpected heroes, and the Lord’s unfailing faithfulness to a stumbling people.

TTKIM 5 - The Historical Books in the Old Testament
18 May 2026
01:16:22
This episode of followHIM features John Bytheway, Hank Smith, and Dr. Ross Baron exploring the “historical books” of the Old Testament—Joshua through Esther—and how they reveal God’s hand in Israel’s history over roughly 800 years, from the entry into the promised land to the Persian period. They explain that these narratives show the blessings and consequences tied to the Abrahamic Covenant and emphasize that God is patient, merciful, and consistently works with His people at their level while inviting them higher.
