    Revenge and retaliation would be a good title for Samson's encounters with the Philistines. Upon learning his marriage is over, Samson seeks revenge. When the Philistines see Samson's revenge, they retaliate. Finally, the tribe of Judah gets involved just to maintain the status quo with the Philistines. But it doesn't end there.

    Find out what happens as we set the stage for the next chapter.

    Samson - a man with muscles, long hair, and BRAINS.

    As Erika unpacks Judges 14, we watch Samson "go down." Not only does he go down in altitude, but also in character and choices.

    Samson is supposed to save his people from the Philistines, but he continually chooses what is right in his eyes. (We've known since Genesis 3 that is not a good idea.)

    Judges 14 sets up multiple ways we watch Samson choose what is right in his own eyes.

    Erika mentions the books series by Lynn Austin.

    It's time for our last judge. Samson is a known for his strength and long hair, but what can we learn from his birth story?

    Samson's parents were visited by an angel before he was born. His mom probably handled the situation better than his dad.

    #237 - Jephthah's Final Story and 3 Minor Judges
    2025/03/24

    Send us a text

    Join us as we explore the dramatic conflict between Jephthah, judge of Israel, and the men of Ephraim, who have been key players in all our stories so far. Erika compares Jephthah's interactions with Ephraim to Gideon's interactions with them. Once again, we see how each judge doesn't live up to the actions of his predecessor.

    We will also look at the three minor judges before we dig into Samson next week.

    As we continue our descent in the cycle of the judges, things start to feel very shaky. Was Jephthah chosen by God or did God use him because that's who the people picked?

    Jephthah brought about an incredible victory for the Lord, but that victory gets overshadowed by his vow. Even after he made that vow, did he have other options?

    Erika digs deep into this chapter to help us make sense of things that don't sit well with us - spoiler it's not meant to sit well.

    Time for a deep breath while we look at two minor judges. We can all wonder what the days were like during these judges because we hardly get any information.

    Reading about two minor judges signals to us it's time for step down in the cycle. Therefore, Erika introduces the story of Jephthah even though he's not mentioned in chapter 10. Remember to look back at the criteria we saw with Othniel and see what's missing in the story of Jephthah.

    Before we can completely wrap up Gideon's story, we are going to look at the actions of his son Abimelek.

    Abimelek isn't a judge but the way he conducts himself shows us how Gideon's sins were passed down to his children.

    Gideon has won a massive victory but what happens afterwards? How does he lead the people? Gideon started out his story hiding in winepress, but where does his story end? (Spoiler alert - he's no longer hiding.) Does the end of his story overshadow his victories?
