Podcast 232 -- A Victim of His Own Success Judges 8:18-34

Is it really the case that we either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain? In a spirited discussion, we look at the questionable decisions Gideon makes after his resounding victory over the Midianites. Does he mirror other great men who are overcome by their faults? We debate the motivations Gideon may have had for making an idol of a gold ephod. Was it pride, insecurity, fear or any combination? Is a man's character most vulnerable at the moment of his greatest achievement? December 7, 2021Bill Cox, Steve Titch, Robert Cocheu, Mike Cropper, Earl Lloyd Hosted on Acast.
