| 0:00.0 | well hello everyone and welcome to our second episode this is going to be a lot of fun we just had to |
| 0:15.8 | have to because there that first one was so powerful and if you haven't seen it make sure you |
| 0:20.2 | see that really a powerful episode i believe and then this one we're going to just wrap up a little bit some of the information about ruth we're going to talk about samuel and we're going to talk about hannah and then more about samuus we're going to when i say we're going to talk about samuel's the book of samuel and uh the person a little bit then we'll talk about Hannah, then we'll talk more about Samuel as a youth, and then we're going to talk more |
| 0:41.8 | about some lessons we can learn from Samuel overall that will help us get more out of our |
| 0:47.6 | Old Testament study this entire year. So let's start out by just doing a little bit of a wrap-up |
| 0:53.7 | of what's going on with Ruth. |
| 0:56.5 | All right. |

| 1:39.3 | Also, the specific ways of taking care of the poor in gleaning that we've spoken about in the other episode and in previous episodes. |
| 1:49.0 | So I just want us to make sure we're seeing how all this comes together in daily life because really Ruth is the story of a normal person in the period of the judges. |
| 1:59.0 | She's just a normal person along other normal people, and this is what |
| 2:02.6 | life is like for them. There's famine. |
| 2:04.9 | They're hard things. There's deaths. |
| 2:06.7 | There's marriages. They're happy |
| 2:08.7 | things. It's the roller coaster |
| 2:10.7 | of life. And for normal people |
