There's a chilling story President Spencer W. Kimball relates in his book, Miracle of Forgiveness,

about a man who pulls himself from alcoholism, practices sobriety for years, and readies himself to be sealed in the temple with his wife,

and then, on the eve of his temple visit, is drawn back into old vices by persuasive friends.

Although a stark example, it's probably not too far off experiences we all have,

where we work and repent from mistakes and sins,

enjoy rest and freedom, only to feel the pull of temptation and possibly the pain of relapse again.

This week, we study the Book of Jud judges, which is, in summary, that story

told 12 times in a row. Study with us this week as we seek to interrupt that cycle and stay true

to the God who delivers us. Welcome to the Scripture Study Project. We are your host, Krista and Zach Horton, and this is our

podcast where we study scripture with you. Our goal each week is to help you discover new or

renewed excitement for God and His Word, invest your heart and personal life into your study,

and connect with others as you teach and learn together.

Hey everyone. Welcome to this week's study. Judges is our book this week.

And we sat down to record. And then we both did, what is the show? I think it's up.

Up. Yeah. We both looked at. There was a squirrel on a branch outside and we both turned and we didn't say squirrel, but we thought squirrel. It's on this little small branch outside.

Well, what I think is amazing is that squirrels are underplayed. You know, monkeys get all the rap for...

All the attention for...

All the attention for swinging from trees, but squirrels are pretty amazing.

I would be a squirrel over a monkey.

I don't think I would.

Monkeys.

There's your takeaway from this week's episode.
