#243 - Connecting the Tribe of Dan and Micah and the Levite in Judges 18
Send us a textSamson did what was right in his own eyes.Now we will watch as the tribe of Dan does what is right in their own eyes. When you read this chapter, it's easy to think they are doing what God wants because we see and read about religious items and God's name being used....but it's time to look deeper. It's time to connect some dots in this story to see what's really going on. This story has a surprising twist at the end as well.

#241 - It's Time for Samson and Delilah's Story
Send us a textIn this episode we uncover the intricate dynamics between a mighty man brought low by his own vulnerabilities (WOMEN) and a cunning woman whose name echoes through history as a symbol of deceit. Children's Bibles would have you believe Samson turned to God in the end and God redeemed Samson's life through his death. BUT is that really what happened?

#239 - Samson a Man Who Lives By "What is Good in His Eyes" - Judges 14
Send us a textSamson - 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.
