Episode Synopsis

In this episode Pastor Paul Karsten and Lee Graves explore Ruth 2:1-13. The story shifts from despair to unexpected hope as Naomi’s daughter-in-law Ruth steps into the fields—not as a victim of circumstance, but as someone intentionally seeking provision and a future. This passage reveals not only Ruth’s daring resilience but also God’s providence at work through the humble act of gleaning. It’s a story about God’s favor appearing in the most unlikely places, turning a simple act into a turning point. As Ruth finds herself in the field of Boaz, we’re invited to consider how divine kindness often comes quietly, woven into everyday moments, offering us glimpses of hope and the promise that even in hardship, there’s a plan unfolding.
