We are closer to miracles than we realize, seeing them in how God created the world and how we respond to it. What is freedom? Can we affirm God’s goodness in adversity? How do we handle fear? These are a few of the questions we explore in this episode on Ruth 4:5-6. Boaz and Ruth show us a profound way to live. Take a look at the Chapter titles below to see the ground we cover.
