Ruth’s story began with brokenness, but it ends beautifully. Boaz redeemed her, provided for her, and safeguarded her family line. From her lineage would come Jesus, the best Redeemer of all.

Ruth was redeemed by Boaz and welcomed into his family. Similarly, you are redeemed by God and welcomed into the family of faith. Nancy helps you marvel at the glory of redeeming love.

As women, we’re quick to take matters into our own hands when, so often, God is inviting us to rest instead. Our Redeemer is always working for our good. From Ruth’s story, we learn that it’s a safe thing to wait on Him.

Ruth’s life is a model for faithful womanhood. She gladly places herself under the covering of male authority and makes bold requests in faith. Nancy invites you to imitate Ruth’s godliness in your own life.

Are you afraid of being needy? In our day, many women prize self-sufficiency over humble dependence. But in Ruth’s story, we find that it’s our need that qualifies us for redemption. Nancy invites you to wonder at redeeming love.

Are you afraid of being unnoticed? That everything you’re pouring out will just fall through the cracks? Nancy reminds you that the Lord sees everything and that He rewards the ordinary faithfulness of the woman who trusts in Him.

Do you ever feel like God is good to others, but not to you? When we encounter grief, it’s easy to grow bitter. But what if this circumstance is the very place God is asking you to trust Him? We’re looking at Naomi’s life for the answer.

The path of comfort and convenience—or commitment and compassion. Which will you choose? From Ruth’s story, discover which path leads to temporary happiness and which path leads to life.

Are you wandering? Have you made your home in the far country, distant from the Lord? Naomi was a wanderer as well, but she didn’t stay far from God. His invitation is a simple one. "Come home."

Have you experienced the Lord’s discipline? It’s painful in the moment—yet it’s always for your good. Naomi learned this lesson in the book of Ruth. Through discipline, God drew her back home. Today, learn more about God’s redemptive discipline.

When trials come, are you tempted to escape? Elimelech and Naomi tried to run from famine by fleeing to Moab, but this wasn’t God’s best for them. Nancy tells you more about the consequences of escapism.

Do you worry your past is too messy to be used by God? Do you look at the world and wonder how anything good could come from what you see? Ruth likely had similar questions, but God used her life to light the darkness. Your life can be a light, too.

Does your life feel messy, uncertain, exhausting, broken? You’re not alone. Every woman has hard chapters in her story—and every woman needs God to step into those chapters with redeeming love.

There’s a strong connection between fear and discouragement throughout Scripture. At least ten times, we read “Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.” Nancy unpacks what this connection means for you in your own seasons of discouragement.

Endurance begins with believing God is up to something good. Sometimes our discouraging circumstances feel pointless. But everything God does is filled with meaning. Nancy reminds you of God’s promises and purposes in your discouragement.

When David’s circumstances were chaotic and confusing, he had a choice to make. You and I have the same decision. Will we inquire of the Lord and delight in His direction, or will we go our own way?
