When Life Falls Apart | Ruth Week 1 (Ruth 1:1–5)Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. Sometimes loss comes in waves, and we find ourselves in a season that feels empty, uncertain, or overwhelming.In this first week of our verse-by-verse study through the Book of Ruth, we begin where the story begins — with famine, grief, and heartbreak. We explore Ruth 1:1–5 and the opening losses in Naomi’s life, setting the stage for a powerful story of God’s quiet providence and redemption.In this episode, we talk about:The historical and cultural background of RuthWhy the story begins in such darknessWhat famine, barrenness, and loss represent in ScriptureHow God works even when He feels silentWhy emptiness is often the beginning of restorationIf you’re walking through a difficult season, this study is for you.
