Episode Title: Learning to Celebrate God’s Victories
Scripture Reference: Judges 5:1–11

Welcome:
In today’s episode, Learning to Celebrate God’s Victories, we step into one of the Bible’s most famous Old Testament songs of praise: the Song of Deborah. After a dramatic and miraculous deliverance in Judges 4, Israel responds—not with parades or pageantry, but with worship. What does it look like for God’s people to truly celebrate His victories? How do we mark moments of breakthrough and deliverance? This episode invites us to learn from Deborah’s song and rediscover how praise—public, joyful, radical praise—can become our response to the goodness of God.

📖 Episode Summary

• A Song of Celebration: Judges 5 is a poetic reflection on God’s deliverance. Deborah and Barak respond to victory with worship—not self-congratulation.
• Public Praise is Powerful: Deborah calls even foreign rulers to listen. Worship becomes witness.
• The Importance of Godly Leadership: When leaders step up and people obey, praise rises.
• God Moves Through the Ordinary: Villagers, volunteers, and a mother named Deborah—all play a part in God's plan.
• Tell the Story: Celebration is not silent. We recount God's victories wherever life happens—by the well, in the streets, in our homes.

🙌 Key Verse

“When the princes in Israel take the lead,
 when the people willingly offer themselves—
praise the Lord!”
(Judges 5:2)
