Podcasts about Boaz

Are we more exhausted than ever? In this episode, we explore “The Great Exhaustion” gripping modern culture—burnout, stress, and soul-deep fatigue. We turn to Ruth 3, where Ruth's bold move toward Boaz offers a picture of true rest and redemption.

In a world where passive leadership is the norm, especially among men, we dive into the story of Boaz in Ruth 4, a model of redemptive, sacrificial leadership. And we contrast that with one of the most disturbing stories in Scripture from Judges 19—where silence and passivity lead to tragedy.This isn't a “try harder” message. It's a call to Spirit-empowered manhood—where strength meets gentleness, courage meets compassion, and leadership is rooted in love.It's time to step up—not out of pressure, but out of purpose.

In the message, "Right Place, God's Time," Pastor Rich Whitter explores Ruth 2:1–11, a passage where divine timing meets humble obedience. As Ruth steps into the fields of Boaz to glean what she can, the ordinary act of gathering leftover grain becomes the backdrop for God's extraordinary providence. Pastor Rich highlights how Ruth's faithfulness and courage position her not by accident, but by divine design.In this unfolding moment, Boaz's kindness reflects God's heart—a God who sees, provides, and honors those who take refuge in Him. Ruth had no strategy for promotion, only a willingness to serve and stay faithful. Yet in God's perfect timing, her obedience placed her in the right field, before the right person, for the right purpose.We hope this message inspires you to trust that even in what seems routine, God is at work. Stay faithful where you are—because when you walk in obedience, you may find yourself in the right place at exactly God's time.

In this episode, Brody and JB unpack the story of Ruth and Boaz—not just a romance, but a stunning display of God's redemptive work through unlikely people and difficult circumstances. Set in a time of chaos, Ruth's bold loyalty and outsider status become the backdrop for a greater story of grace, restoration, and purpose. This powerful narrative points forward to Christ and offers deep hope for anyone navigating seasons of uncertainty.Rahab: Jesus and His Crazy GrandmasTamar: Jesus and His Crazy GrandmasRuth: Jesus and His Crazy GrandmasSend us a textPlease leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.

"Where the Spirit Leads" | Rev. Stephanie Boaz preaching | May 25, 2025

It is customary to read Megillat Rut on Shabuot, and several different reasons have been given for this custom. The Mordechi (Rav Mordechai Ben Hillel, Germany, 1250-1298), in Masechet Megilla (chapter 1), as cited by the Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles of Cracow, 1525-1572) in Darkeh Moshe (494), explains that the story of Rut took place during the harvest season, around the time of Shabuot, and it is therefore appropriate to read this story on this holiday. Others explain that at the time of Matan Torah, the Jewish People underwent a process of "conversion," for, like converts, they had been obligated only in the Seven Noachide Laws, and then committed themselves to the Torah's 613 commands. (Interestingly, the Hebrew word "Gerut" has the numerical value of 620, corresponding to the 613 Biblical commands plus the seven Misvot instituted by the Sages.) Therefore, on the day we celebrate Matan Torah, we read the story of Rut, which tells of Rut's conversion and acceptance of the Misvot. Thirdly, we read Megilat Rut as a reminder that accepting the Torah includes not only our obligations toward G-d, but also our obligations to other people. The story of Rut is all about Hesed: Rut accompanied her mother-in-law, Naomi, and left her homeland to be at her side; Boaz cared for Rut when she arrived in Bet-Lehem, and then married her; Rut performed kindness for her deceased husband by allowing his soul to be perpetuated through the process of Yibum. We read this story to remind ourselves that kindness and sensitivity to other people is part and parcel of our acceptance of the Torah. Additionally, Megillat Rut is a story of remarkable "Mesirut Nefesh" – self-sacrifice. Rut was the daughter of the king of Moav, yet she was prepared to leave her life of royalty and all the amenities and luxuries it offers in order to become a Jew. This story reminds us that we need to sacrifice in order to succeed in Torah and Misvot. We cannot expect to excel in our devotion to Torah while enjoying all the comforts and luxuries that life offers. "Mesirut Nefesh" is an indispensable prerequisite for a successful Torah life. Finally, the story of Megillat Rut concludes with Rut's marriage to Boaz and the birth of their son, who ultimately became the grandfather of King David, who was born and passed away on Shabuot. It is thus appropriate to read this story on Shabuot, when we remember and reflect upon David Ha'melech.

God is writing a bigger story than you can see. Ruth chapter 4 isn't just the end of a love story—it's the launchpad for legacy, redemption, and restoration. In today's message, we wrap up our Ruth series with powerful insights into how God redeems our brokenness, restores what's been lost, and brings purpose from pain.

Ruth 2:15-23 English Standard Version 15 When she rose to glean, Boaz instructed his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her. 16 And also pull out some from the bundles for her and leave it for her to glean, and do not rebuke her.” 17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah[a] of barley. 18 And she took it up and went into the city. Her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. She also brought out and gave her what food she had left over after being satisfied. 19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where did you glean today? And where have you worked? Blessed be the man who took notice of you.” So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, “The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.” 20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the Lord, whose kindness has not forsaken the living or the dead!” Naomi also said to her, “The man is a close relative of ours, one of our redeemers.” 21 And Ruth the Moabite said, “Besides, he said to me, ‘You shall keep close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.'” 22 And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, lest in another field you be assaulted.” 23 So she kept close to the young women of Boaz, gleaning until the end of the barley and wheat harvests. And she lived with her mother-in-law.

This part of Ruth’s story would jump off the page to ancient readers. Ruth is no longer a victim. She demonstrates bold faith and a willingness to risk rejection when she follows Naomi's advice and asks Boaz to marry her. Ruth is willing to step out of the social norms of her day: a foreigner […]

In today's message, we take a surprising turn—from Hallmark movies to the threshing floor. While Ruth 3 might read like a romantic drama to us, it was scandalous and suspenseful to its original audience. Through Naomi's bold plan and Ruth's midnight visit to Boaz, we uncover a deeper truth about expectations—what we place on ourselves, what others place on us, and how God invites us into something better: rest.Whether you're a mom feeling pressure, a person labeled by your past, or someone trying to hold it all together, this message reminds us that God's expectations aren't burdens—they're invitations to trust Him. Join us as we explore what it means to release, reframe, and rest in the faithfulness of the Redeemer who is always working behind the scenes.Scripture: Ruth 3Key Takeaway:“Lie down” isn't laziness—it's trust.

The Book of Ruth is more than a romantic tale — it's a powerful picture of God's covenant love and redemption. In this message, we explore how Ruth's bold faith and Boaz's gracious response point us to Jesus, our ultimate Redeemer.

In Chapter three of Ruth, Ruth takes a bold risk in hopes of redemption. Grief and loss turn to joy as she is brought under the covenant love of Boaz. Ultimate redemption is found in Jesus Christ.

Tim Sheppard - Ever felt like God's rescue plan is a bit...disappointing? The book of Ruth closes with a reminder of why God's redemption is more generous and significant than anything that has come before. In the lives of ordinary people like Ruth and Boaz, God is working to bring about extraordinary hope.

Sometimes, God’s blessing begins with a trickle. We see this in today's message from Ruth, chapter two. As God reveals His hand in this story, desperation gives way to humility and nobility. We also meet a new and impressive character, Boaz, who reflects God's loving concern for Ruth and Naomi. And quite suddenly, a trickle […]

Ruth's faithfulness and hard work lead her to Boaz, who generously provides for her. Boaz's kindness reflects God's care for the vulnerable, and Naomi begins to see hope for their future. The chapter emphasizes that God's blessings often come through ordinary acts of faith and obedience.

It seems like so much has been lost in the time of the judges, but the author of Ruth gives us a glimmer of hope. In a season of drought, a family leaves Israel and moves to Moab hoping to find relief, but instead they find sorrow. The wife, Naomi, becomes a widow without family to help her. Her daughter-in-law, a foreigner, commits to love her and care for her, returning with her to the people of Israel. There, she meets Boaz, a family redeemer who honors Ruth, cares for her, and in obedience to the Lord, redeems her into his own family. Ruth is part of a bigger story of redemption, as her lineage will include not only King David, but Jesus the Christ. Ruth 1 – 1:12 . Ruth 2 – 5:33 . Ruth 3 – 11:18 . Ruth 4 – 14:49 . Proverbs 25 – 19:45 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Ever wish God gave you a heads-up before a big moment? In this message from Ruth 2, we explore how life-changing moments often come disguised as ordinary ones. Boaz wasn't looking for a divine assignment—just checking on his fields. But his simple “yes” to an unnoticed woman named Ruth changed everything. This sermon is about seeing people, being interruptible, and realizing that the way we respond in everyday moments could be part of God's bigger redemption story.

Are you in a season where you feel forgotten, stuck, or wondering what God is doing? In this powerful message from Ruth chapter 2, Pastor Ryan Visconti brings an encouraging word about God's providence, favor, and grace—even in the hardest seasons.Through the story of Ruth and Boaz, you'll discover how God's hand is always at work behind the scenes, aligning divine appointments, redeeming brokenness, and preparing blessings greater than you imagined. Whether you're single, married, or simply seeking God's direction, this message is full of biblical wisdom, dating guidance, and hope for your future.
