Ruth Pt 6 | Boaz Sees Ruth

Searching the Sacred

Season 4 | Ruth Pt 6 | Boaz Sees Ruth

Welcome to episode 6 of our season on the first two chapters of Ruth. In this series we are slowly making our way through this dynamic book. Episode 6 is reaching the end of chapter 2 and the closing of this season.

Boaz, as a landowner, goes to the field and sees Ruth. Who is this guy? How does he engage people as a landowner? Why is his posture and approach important? And before this story becomes about Boaz, what is Ruth doing? How is her persistence and effort a testament to her character? Let's never forget to keep Ruth and Naomi central to this story.

This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith…

40 Orchards, with Steph and Lisa, invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash.

In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good.

You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org.

Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions.

You can learn more about Processing Faith and sign-up for a free 45 min session by going to processingfaith.com.
