Today on the Virtue Podcast, with Wendy MacGinnis, we’re in Judges 13–16, looking at the life of Samson—a man uniquely gifted by God and given a specific purpose, yet one who repeatedly chose what seemed right in his own eyes. Wendy reminds us that while Samson played the champion, he often failed to act as a leader. His story warns us what can happen when pride, desire, and self-reliance get in the way of using God’s gifts for His purposes.

In this week’s Virtue podcast, Sue Mills walks us through Judges 8:32–12:15, looking specifically at Abimelech and Jephthah. Their stories remind us how easily other things can begin to take God’s place in our hearts and how tempting it can be to take matters into our own hands when we’re waiting for God to make things right. Sue encourages us to run to the Lord, trust His timing, and guard against anger and bitterness taking root. In the battles we face every day, we want to be women who walk in the Spirit and keep the Lord first.

Judges 3–5 reads a little more like a Marvel movie than a chick flick—full of battles, unlikely heroes, and unexpected victories!

In this episode of the Virtue Podcast, Cathe Laurie takes us into the book of Judges to uncover how small compromises can lead to captivity and how easily we can forget the faithfulness of God. She challenges us to consider where “I can’t” may really mean “I won’t,” and how the things we choose can eventually begin choosing for us. Through it all, Judges reminds us of our need for a greater Deliverer, Jesus, the One who rescues, restores, and sets us truly free.
