Show Notes

How does the story of a Moabite widow illuminate the depth of God's story in the Bible? Join us as we embark on a profound exploration of the book of Ruth with our special guest, Sherie Gayle, a PhD candidate in theology and religious studies at Georgetown University. Sherie enriches our discussion with her academic insights, emphasizing the compelling roles and relationships of the women in Ruth. 

We scrutinize how the narrative challenges traditional gender roles and the significance of Ruth, an outsider, being the namesake of one of the Bible's books. This episode brings the humanity of the characters to the forefront and explores how their experiences deepen our understanding of faith and God's plan.
