The Reign of the Judges
The book of Judges presents a hodgepodge of redemption and anarchy, all leading up to theme of the need for a king in Israel (kind of a teaser for the King David sequel). This portion of the episode covers:
- Lessons we learn from Judges (cycles of apostasy and return which should be familiar to readers of the Book of Mormon)
- Lessons we learn from each story
- Deborah and Jael
- Gideon
- Samson
- Who God has “raised up” in our lives to help us
- How we can surround ourselves by influences that will help us live according to our values
