S4:061 Judges 9-12
How do we make sense of God sending an evil spirit to Abimelech? In today’s episode, Join the Journey staff member Lauren Atkinson and Watermark staff member Ethan Howard discuss the downward cycle of the Israelite nation due to unfaithfulness and how God shows His glory and fulfills His good plan despite the sinfulness of man. If God is sovereign over evil, then He can redeem evil and use it for our good and His glory.

S4:060 Judges 5-8
Why does God indulge Gideon's constant doubting? What's this about a female judge? Today Emma Dotter is joined by Watermark member Ben Brown to examine Gideon and Deborah's life and faith in Judges 5-8. The fleece was not just about Gideon testing God's power but questioning God's presence. Faith isn't about having all the answers but trusting the One who does. Gideon and Deborah's stories reminds us that though God's choices may not always make logical sense to us, God shows his grace and power using imperfect people. Additional Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 12:38-42 – sign for what God has already done
