In this episode of Met in the Mess, we continue our book club series with A Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers, focusing on the story of Ruth.

We talk about what it means to trust God in seasons of uncertainty, walk through grief with faith, and remain obedient even when the future feels unclear. Ruth’s quiet strength and loyalty remind us that God is always working—even in the waiting and in the middle of our mess.

Ruth’s story is one of deep loss, unwavering loyalty, and quiet faith. We talk about what it looks like to trust God when life doesn’t go as planned, how God works through ordinary obedience, and why Ruth’s journey still matters today.

Whether you’re following along with our book club, studying the Bible, or just looking for encouragement in a hard season, this conversation will meet you right in the middle of the mess.

If you enjoy Christian podcasts, Bible study conversations, and faith-based book clubs, this episode will encourage you right where you are.
