BROKEN SAVIORS: THE GOSPEL IN THE BOOK OF JUDGES The Book of Judges is a dark, sobering account of Israel’s repeated spiral into idolatry, oppression, and despair—and yet it is also a story of relentless grace. Again and again, God raises up flawed, broken “saviors” to rescue His people, not because they deserve it, but because of His covenant love. But each deliverer, no matter how heroic, proves unable to bring lasting peace. This tragic cycle points us beyond human strength to the ultimate Judge and Savior, Jesus Christ, who breaks the power of sin once and for all. In this study, we’ll see how the failures of God’s people, and even their leaders, reveal our own need for rescue and how the gospel gives us the rest, peace, and joy no earthly savior can provide.

Life moves fast—full of noise, distractions, and chaos. No matter your season of motherhood, you likely feel it: endless to-do lists, late-night worries, deep fears, and the question, Am I enough? The enemy thrives on this, whispering lies that stir up insecurity and fear. But you were never meant to have it all figured out alone. Now more than ever, we need the Shepherd. Psalm 23 says the Lord is our Shepherd—bringing order, provision, comfort, and healing. John 10 calls Jesus the Good Shepherd—skilled, courageous, and always near. When we know his voice, we find true safety, security, and purpose. Even on the hardest days, God holds you close. His provision may look different than expected, but it’s not about what we have—it’s about who we have. When we feel like we’re not enough, it’s an invitation to draw near to him. Settle into the safety + security of the Good Shepherd.
