Podcast appearances and mentions of ruth naomi

Most of us in the world live as functional atheists. We live our day to day lives without reference to God almost by instinct. This way of conceiving of the world as a “closed system” detached from anything beyond the physical realm stands in contrast to the worldview we find in the book of Ruth. The three main characters in Ruth: Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz all speak in ways that acknowledge God's hand in all things despite the fact that He never speaks nor performs a single miracle in this narrative. We often assume that God works only in extraordinary circumstances, but Ruth challenges this notion by showing how the purposes of God play out in the ordinary lives of two grieving widows searching for bread.

Our Summer 2025 series, Beside Still Waters, focuses on the places where creativity brings life into a world fatigued by brokenness and division. From jazz to Jane Austen and in between, this season we'll focus on the ways literature and the arts can refresh and challenge our inner lives—and connect us with the Creator of the good, the true, and the beautiful.How should we live faithfully within a world created to be good and beautiful, and yet everywhere marred by ugliness and injustice? Jazz vocalist and composer Ruth Naomi Floyd will guide us in bringing together music, creativity, and justice, and help us think about our roles in repairing, re-envisioning, and creating new places of beauty and flourishing:We know that art shapes and reshapes us and that it's there in the cross of Jesus, I believe, where beauty and violence collided and beauty won. And so that act of loving someone…purposely trying to love someone, especially those that seem or are viewed or deemed unlovable, is…directly connected and intrinsically connected to our art making.We hope you are encouraged by Ruth's artistic journey, as she helps us to find beauty in the midst of suffering, and to express love through creativity.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2021.

Redemption E4 — During a dark time in ancient Israel, idolatry, injustice, and death ruled the land and its people. In the midst of a famine, a destitute widow tragically loses her husband and adult sons and is left alone with her immigrant daughter-in-law. It's a horrible situation, but God uses the faithful, loving, and generous acts of ordinary community members to redeem the widow's story. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the cosmic redemption playing out in the short but profound story of Ruth.CHAPTERSRecap and Setup for Ruth (0:00-13:37)A Story Opening in Tragedy (13:37-27:26)In Comes the Redeemer (27:26-38:18)The Redeemer Redeems (38:18-53:43)Ordinary Acts of Love as Cosmic Redemption (53:43-1:04:40)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESYou can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSICFour songs by Jackie Hill Perry“The Art of Joy”“Suffering Servant”“Ode To Lauryn”“Better”BibleProject theme song by TENTSSHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.

Ruth 1:6-18

Jeff White will be with us for the next two Sundays, leading a two-part series on the book of Ruth. Today, he shares a message titled "Return & Renewal" A story of Ruth and Naomi" (Ruth 1 & 2). Jeff encourages you to read ahead and come ready to dive into a story of faith and redemption.

Hey everyone, we are finally back. I am sharing a very vulnerable portion of my healing journey with Jesus and I just pray it's received well.. Be well, be love, know you're loved

What is God's role in redemption? And what is it like for us to be faithful? Listen to Marla's message as she unpacks the parallel between Boaz and Jesus as well as Ruth/Naomi and us. This message concludes our Ruth series.

Is there an area of your life where you're saying, “My God is King,” and yet you're doing what's right in your own eyes? Is there some area of your life where you're claiming, yes, “I am a follower of Jesus,” and yet you're following your own truth and not His truth? To get to where God wants you to be, you have to walk away from a place that is not His will.

Music, Creativity & Justice with Ruth Naomi FloydHow should we think about work within, and live faithfully within a world that was called and created to be good and beautiful, and yet everywhere is marred by ugliness and injustice? Jazz vocalist and composer Ruth Naomi Floyd joins our podcast to discuss the intersection of music, creativity, and justice, and to help us think deeply about our role in repairing, re-envisioning, and creating new places of beauty, justice, and flourishing:We know that art shapes and reshapes us and that it's there in the cross of Jesus, I believe, where beauty and violence collided and beauty won. And so that act of loving someone…purposely trying to love someone, especially those that seem or are viewed or deemed unlovable, is…directly connected and intrinsically connected to our art making.We hope you enjoy and are encouraged by Floyd's artistic journey, how she finds beauty in the midst of suffering, and her vision for the role of love in creativity.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2021.

In this episode, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb takes a close look at a couple interesting claims, namely, that both Ruth & Naomi were gay and so, too, were David and Jonathan. In particular, he looks at an article recently published in a local magazine that was written by a Religion Professor. Along the way, he discusses the professor's claims about the Genesis account, too. Ever heard these arguments? Ever wondered how to deal with them? Tune in and find out, as Dr. Halcomb zeroes on in the "Fallacy of the Week." #fallacy #fallacies #logicalfallacy #ruth #naomi #bookofruth #kingdavid #david #jonathan #gay #homosexuality #bible fallacy, fallacies, logical fallacy, ruth, naomi, book of ruth, king david, david, jonathan, gay, homosexuality, bible --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/glossahouse/message

Naomi and Ruth are fascinating women. They were two widows on a journey, clinging to one another. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they took care of each other. They loved and respected each other. Ruth adored her mother-in-law so much, she left everything behind to follow her to her hometown and live among her people. The townspeople were so impressed by her that they watched out for her, especially Boaz... This is a story of sorrow and redemption, resilience and hope, and even romance! We see how God provides and is in the details of our story. Even when we don't know where His Light is going to come in, He is there all along and is weaving our story. Trust Him.

Sunday, July 3, 2022 - As children of God who have been bought back by the Blood of Jesus, we bear the image of God, our Father. Some would say, we are a “chip off the ol' block.” The faithfulness, loyalty, and loving nature of God, becomes our nature, too. We see this powerful demonstration of love, loyalty, faithfulness, and sacrifice as we walk with Ruth & Naomi in our passage. It is the witness that when we are loyal and loving in our relationships, we are imitating God's faithfulness, too.

Every human being is a creator, whether they're creating a beautiful work of art or cultivating kindness in someone's life. That's what jazz vocalist and composer Ruth Naomi Floyd has found to be true. Ruth shares all the ways she sees God creating beauty in our lives, even in the darkest of places, and how we can find it when we just allow ourselves to look.   Quotes “God is the first and greatest artist. He created out of nothing. And every single human being is made in His image. We are a reflection of His beauty. We are made in His image.'” —Ruth Naomi Floyd “Every human being is worthy of dignity as image bearers of God.”  —Ruth Naomi Floyd “Every human being is a creative. Acts of kindness are creative. Inviting a stranger to your table to feast upon food you have made with your own hands is a powerful and creative act. It's in that artistic giving and receiving that is important.”  —Ruth Naomi Floyd “The Jesus Storybook Bible says that every story whispers His name. All of the beauty of the world whispers His name too.”  —Ruth Naomi Floyd   Ruth's LinksRuth's website Ruth's Facebook Ruth's Instagram Ruth's Twitter   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Frederick Douglass   Connect with Sally Lloyd-JonesJesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

I'm going to start out strong here and drop a favorite quote on you guys. Anita Krizzan once said, “God shines through the cracks of broken people.” I can't tell you how much I love this. Have you ever noticed that the best people in your life are the ones who don't have it all together? Perfection is a nice goal, I suppose, but even the thought of it wears me out. It isn't realistic. And to be very honest, it isn't relatable. My favorite people, the very BEST people I have come across in my life are the broken ones. The broken hearts and weary souls who know what it is to hurt and to fear and to struggle. These are my people. The ones I can sit down with and pour out my own flawed self to. There is no judgment in that place. There is safety and comfort in conversations between imperfect hearts who just need to feel like they aren't alone. And in those precious honest moments God opens an opportunity for us to shine our lights for Him. Isn't that amazing? God uses the struggle and the history of our lives to give us the very testimonies we can take out and share. Though the Bible is full of stories of brokenness, there is one that always comes to mind… story of Ruth. To be honest, the story is equally as compelling for Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law because they are both redeemed so beautifully. As a refresher, I'll read the first chapter of Ruth to provide some context…. Now, because the book of Ruth is only four chapters total, I'll stop here to commentate and fill in the rest. This story is sad right out of the gate. Naomi and her family left their homeland to seek refuge from a famine. They left everything behind…home, family, friends, and even land because they were starving. Shortly after they arrive, Naomi's husband, Elimelech, dies. Can you imagine how devastated you'd be? To leave behind all you know, but at least you're with your family. And then your husband dies. The only comfort Naomi had left were her two sons. They each married and time goes on for ten years. We don't know what transpired in this time, but we can assume that Naomi did not have any grandchildren yet, as none were mentioned. We can also assume that her daughters-in-law were likely in their mid 20's when her sons, Mahlon and Kilion died. (Remember, women were married at young ages in that day). Naomi has no blood family left. She is left in a foreign land with no protection and likely no source of income. She is also responsible for the welfare of her young daughters-in-law. She does what she feels is the most kind thing and tries to release them of their familial duties to go back to their homes with their own families. Bereft and broken. Bitter, in her own words. Naomi has nothing left. Flipping perspectives, we see Ruth. A young widow. She has no children and seemingly no hope of a future. Even in the midst of her own brokenness, though, she loves Naomi. She clings to her and refuses to leave her. Ruth is broken, but she surrenders her life and her future to the God Naomi follows. Vowing “your God is my God…” and “where you go, I go”. I find such beauty in this broken place. See, brokenness, in its purest form, leads to surrender. Even if she didn't know it at the time, Ruth's posture of surrender was preparing her for a future she could never have imagined for herself. Brokenness is a powerful tool. It is where strength is found and character is forged and relationships are formed. It is also where we meet surrender. Surrender to God and His purposes for it all. She gave it to Him, and He blessed her. And that is just what God will do with whatever brokenness you are carrying. He will bless your story at the moment of surrender… So today, I want to encourage you. Don't feel the need to be perfect, sweet friends, your beauty is in your brokenness. And don't hold on where you need to surrender…He is waiting on you, today. Embrace the unique cracks that are yours and shine His light through them.

It’s probably safe to say that we’ve all experienced “the blues” at different times in our lives. But as Christians, how are we supposed to walk through those seasons of sadness, discouragement, or worse? Our guest for this episode, jazz singer Ruth Naomi Floyd, shares both the practical and the artistic ways we can find beauty in the midst of despair. About our guest:  As a vocalist and composer, Ruth Naomi Floyd has been at the forefront of creating vocal jazz settings that express theology and justice for over 25 years. Also a committed music educator, Ms. Floyd is Director of Jazz Studies at Cairn University in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, and an Adjunct and Artist in Residence at Temple University. Before that, Ms. Floyd taught music for 20 years at The City School. In addition to her musical talent, Ruth Naomi is also an award-winning fine art photographer specializing in black and white portrait images. She continues to make the city of Philadelphia her home, where for over 25 years she has been devoted and active in providing compassionate care and spiritual support  to people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. Notes and Quotes: “We don’t get where we are without those before us and surrounding us pushing us onward.” “There is beauty in the midst of darkness. There is light.” “In the beginning of Genesis 1:1, God presents Himself as an artist: ‘God created.’” “Jesus is the greatest blues singer.” “What kind of God can I not believe in? For me, I cannot believe in a God that hasn’t suffered.” “Sometimes continually showing up is activism.” “Each generation has a responsibility to take what’s best from the generations that preceded them and to build on it.” “On her way back to her cabin [after being dehumanized], she would search for beauty.” “Lean on our biblical sisters, and in each example we can find a way to reflect light.” “Sometimes, really, a radical act is committing to pray, committing to lament . . . remembering your sisters.” “It starts inward. So if we as sisters would value each other, if we would see beauty, if we would empower the kind words, if the world could see Christian women come together and be united and speaking over them with truth and love, they [the world] would be knocking our church doors down.” Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: Show Notes on godhearsher.org God Hears Her website: https://www.godhearsher.org/ Subscribe on iTunes!  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Order God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women on Amazon.  https://amzn.to/32lYSgh Ruth’s website: https://ruthnaomifloyd.com Elisa’s Instagram: elisamorganauthor Eryn’s Instagram: eryneddy
