In this episode, we dive into the story of Deborah, the fearless prophetess and only female judge of Israel, found in Judges 4–5. After the death of Ehud, Israel falls back into idolatry and ends up under the iron grip of Canaanite King Jabin and his war chief, Sisera. But God's plan unfolds through Deborah, a reluctant general named Barak, and an unexpected heroine, Jael, who drives a tent peg straight into history. We’ll explore the political intrigue, military might, and divine intervention that led to one of the Bible’s most riveting victories. Tune in for ancient chariots, prophetic leadership, and muddy battlefield miracles.

In this episode, we uncover the fascinating story of Shamgar, a lesser-known but mighty figure from Judges 3:31. Was he truly an Israelite judge or a foreign mercenary used by God? Join us as we explore his possible Hurrian or Canaanite roots, his ties to Egypt, and his epic stand against the Philistines, early Sea Peoples of Aegean descent. Through historical insights and biblical context, we reveal how Shamgar may have brought peace to Israel in a time of chaos. Don’t miss this deep dive into ancient history, biblical mystery, and divine providence.

In this episode, we explore the historical and biblical context surrounding Israel’s second judge, Ehud, during a time when the Israelites once again turned away from God after the death of Othniel. As a result, God allowed King Eglon of Moab—along with allies from the Ammonites and Amalekites—to oppress Israel for 18 years. We dive into the origins and cultural backgrounds of these three groups, particularly the Moabites, descendants of Lot, and their ongoing territorial conflicts with Israel. The story climaxes with Ehud, a left-handed (or ambidextrous) warrior from the tribe of Benjamin, who assassinates Eglon in a daring and strategic move, leading to Israel's liberation. This episode also examines archaeological evidence surrounding the City of Palms (Jericho), the political symbolism of the tribute to Eglon, and the significance of Ehud's actions, which brought 80 years of peace to Israel.
