Today is the fourth day of May.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible.

I'm Brian.

It is great to be here with you today as we greet a brand new shiny, sparkly week.

Ah, the first full week of the month of May is what we're heading into now.

So we get through this week and we'll be completely moved in.

Glad that we can be here.

Glad that we can take this moment at the beginning of a week and reflect.

And make ourselves aware that it's all in front of us.

How are we going to live it?

What story are we going to tell?

Because it's ours to tell

and none of it has happened yet.

So, just kind of keeping that at the forefront of our weeks can focus us in the right direction.

So I'm doing that, I'm focusing, I'm looking out over it, as I look out over these rolling hills of Tennessee.

And I am grateful that we can be here and take the next step forward.

We're stepping through the wild west of the Bible in some ways, the book of judges.

And all happens after Joshua's leadership, as we get to know the judges of Israel,

those who led for periods of time, for various reasons, some crazy stories. Let's continue our journey judges

chapters 19 and 20
