Ruth Pt 1 | Into Moab

Season 4 | Ruth Pt 1 | Into Moab Welcome back to Searching the Sacred. This season we won't be bouncing from passage to passage, but methodically moving our way through the book of Ruth. Each week, not only will we have an episode for you to listen to; but for those who support us on Patreon, we have a discussion guide that allows you to join the conversation. In this first episode we barely make it into verse 2! Famine drives this family into Moab, death leaves a widowed mother-in-law with no sons or a husband, and yet they persist. __ We started a Patreon site for those who would like to financially support this podcast.

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.
