• 1:36
  Speaker 2: drift off to the land of dreams as the story begins.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Settle in as the story of Ruth and Naomi unfolds
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: through the eyes of Ruth, imagine the world that Ruth saw.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Look once again past your grain fields and crops, decimated
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: by drought and famine. You've lost everything. See a spot
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: under oak trees where sadly your husband Mollin is buried. Naomi,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: your mother in law, comes outside and sees you looking
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: sadly out at the land. She grieves too, and has
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: lost both her sons. There's nothing left for her here.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: She wants to go back to her land. Still, she
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: wants nothing but the best for you. See Naomi smile
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: at you and speak this blessing over you. May the
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Lord show you kindness. May he help you find rest
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: in another home. Naomi has been so kind to you.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Your stepsister decides to leave Naomi and go back to
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: her old friends and family. What will you do? You
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: are so thankful for the kindness she has shown you.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: If you stay with Naomi, you will go to a
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: new land and live in a new place without much money,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: but you'll do it with someone you love and trust. Look,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Naomi says to you, your sister in law has gone
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: back to her people and to her gods. You should
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: do the same. But you have made up your mind.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Don't ask me to leave you and turn back, you say.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Your heart fills with love for her. Wherever you go,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I will go. Wherever you live, I will live. Your
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: people will be my people, and your God will be
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I will be buried. Naomi sees your devotion and smiles.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You both prepare for the trip to this new land together.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: You pack your belongings and go to sleep. As you
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: close your eyes, you dream of the new places and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: people you will see tomorrow. Rest for a moment and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: breathe in that same spirit of trust from God. Breathe
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: out and release your worries. Breathe in and let the
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit fill you with faith. Rest now in God's arms.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: You take off the cloth that covers your head, shake
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: it out, and rewrap it across your forehead. The hot
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: sun is beating down on you this morning, but you
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: couldn't be happier. You stand in a field thick with grain.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: A wealthy man named Boas has let you pick his
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: leftover barley. As you walk behind his workers, you hear
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Boaz's voice booming to the harvesters, blessing them the Lord
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: be with you. Your cheeks flush. His deep baritone voice
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: reminds you of your late husband Mollin. Secretly, you long
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: for a strong and hind companion. Embarrassed by your thoughts,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: you glue your eyes to the ground. You overhear Boaz
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: quiz a foreman, who does that young woman belong to.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: You?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Hear him asking about you, and wonder whether he will
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: despise you because you're a foreign woman. Breathe in and
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: feel your heart beat. As Boaz approaches you. Boaz speaks
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: gently to you, stay here with the women who work
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: for me. You look into his eyes. They are warm,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: dancing with merriment. At meal time, Boaz says to you,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: come over here, have some bread and dip it in
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: the wine vinegar. You feel him watching you as you
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: take a piece of bread and dip it in the vinegar.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: You eat all you want and try not to blush.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: You didn't realize how hungry you were at the end
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: of the day, Boaz gives you a huge basket of
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: food that you take home. You share your food and
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: story with Naomi. Blessed be the man who took notice
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: of you, Naomi says. Then Naomi suggests a bold plan.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: She tells you to dress up and visit Boaz at
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: night after he sorts the grain out from the chaff.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: You hide your shock as Naomi describes how to lay
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: at his feet. Your heart flutters, but you still tell Naomi, okay,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I'll do everything you say. You tiptoe passed the grain pile,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: and here Boaz, snoring softly. You lay down quietly at
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: his feet. At midnight, Boaz wakes you up. You gather
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: all your courage and ask him to give you his
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: cover of protection as your family redeemer. His voice is tender.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I am a guardian, redeemer of our family, he tells you.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: If the other guardian is not willing, I will do it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Boas hasn't rejected you. He's welcomed you as family. As
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: you fall back asleep, savor the feeling that someone kind
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: will take care of you. Rest for a moment and
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: breathe in that same spirit of trust from God. Breathe out,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: let go of any earthly thing you're clinging to. The
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Next morning, you go with Boaz to the town gate,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: surrounded by a crowd of witnesses and neighbors. He commits
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: himself to you. He tells the witnesses to day you
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: are witnesses that I have acquired Ruth, the Moabite widow
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: of Molland, to be my wife. Then the witnesses cheer
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: for you. They look at you and speak this blessing
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: over you. May the Lord make you like Rachel and Leah,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: from whom all the nation of Israel descended. Boaz beams
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: with pride as they slap him on the back. A
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: few days later, Naomi places a bridal veil over your head.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: She smiles with tears in her eyes, reminding you of
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: God's provision. Tears flow as you remember how far you've come.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Only because of the Lord's goodness has this dream come
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: to pass. Soon you have your first child, a baby boy.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: All your dreams have come true and more. You don't
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: know it yet, but your son Obd will be the
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: grandfather of David, the Great King of Israel. Through David's line,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: the Messiah will be born Jesus, the Redeemer for the
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: entire world. May you dream in peace, trust God's provision,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: and lay your future in his hands. Just as God
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: provided richly for Ruth, he will provide richly for you.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Bring anything that feels unresolved, relationships, projects, decisions, commit them
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: over to God and his plans, and receive this same
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: blessing that Ruth received. May the Lord, the God of Israel,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: you fully for what you have done. Now shift your
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: mind away from today's tasks and worries. Soak in God's
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: presence and get comfortable. Close your eyes and relax. Breathe
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: in God's peace and breathe out your troubles.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: So pace your breathing now as you continue to listen
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: to the word of God as it's prayed over you
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: softly in this continuing time of peaceful relaxation. Just breathe
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: slowly and deeply as you listen to God's word for you.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Just breathe, Just imagine, just dream. You can lie down
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and sleep soundly because the Lord will keep you safe.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: For God is not a god of confusion, but of peace.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Turn away from evil, do good, seek peace, pursue peace,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Sleep and wake up refreshed because the Lord will protect
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and care for you. Now, may the God of Peace
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: our Lord, Jesus Christ. Aim for restoration, Comfort one another,

  Speaker 2: agree with one another, live in peace, and the God
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: of love and peace will be with you. Now. May

  Speaker 2: I pray that all may go well with you, and
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: that you may be in good health as it goes
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: well with your soul. And let the peace of Christ
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: rule in your heart, to which indeed you were called,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: and be thankful. Stay in peace. You will both lie
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: down and sleep, for the Lord alone will help you rest,

  Speaker 2: drift off to the land of dreams as the story begins.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: Settle in as the story of Ruth and Naomi unfolds
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 3: through the eyes of Ruth, imagine the world that Ruth saw.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: Look once again past your grain fields and crops, decimated
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: by drought and famine. You've lost everything. See a spot
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 3: under oak trees where sadly your husband, Mollin is buried. Naomi,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 3: your mother in law, comes outside and sees you looking
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: sadly out at the land. She grieves too, and has
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: lost both her sons. There's nothing left for her here.
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 3: She wants to go back to her land. Still, she
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: wants nothing but the best for you. See Naomi smile
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: at you and speak this blessing over you. May the
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: Lord show you kindness. May he help you find rest
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: in another home. Naomi has been so kind to you.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: Your stepsister decides to leave Naomi and go back to
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 3: her old friends and family. What will you do? You
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 3: are so thankful for the kindness she has shown you.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 3: If you stay with Naomi, you will go to a
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 3: new land and live in a new place without much money,
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: but you'll do it with someone you love and trust. Look,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: Naomi says to you, your sister in law has gone
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: back to her people and to her gods. You should
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: do the same. But you have made up your mind.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 3: Don't ask me to leave you and turn back, you say.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: Your heart fills with love for her. Wherever you go,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: I will go. Wherever you live, I will live. Your
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: people will be my people, and your God will be
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 3: my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 3: I will be buried. Naomi sees your devotion and smiles.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: You both prepare for the trip to this new land together.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 3: You pack your belongings and go to sleep. As you
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 3: close your eyes, you dream of the new places and
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 3: people you will see tomorrow. Rest for a moment and
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 3: breathe in that same spirit of trust from God. Breathe
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: out and release your worries. Breathe in and let the
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit fill you with faith. Rest now in God's arms.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 3: You take off the cloth that covers your head, shake
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: it out and rewrap it across your forehead. The hot
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: sun is beating down on you this morning, but you
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: couldn't be happier. You stand in a field thick with grain.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 3: A wealthy man named Boas has let you pick his
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: leftover barley. As you walk behind his workers, you hear
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: Boaz's voice booming to the harvesters, blessing them the Lord
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 3: be with you. Cheeks flush. His deep baritone voice reminds
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: you of your late husband Mollin. Secretly, you long for
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 3: a strong and kind companion. Embarrassed by your thoughts, you
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: glue your eyes to the ground. You overhear Boaz quiz
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 3: a foreman, who does that young woman belong to.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: You?
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: Hear him asking about you, and wonder whether he will
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: despise you because you're a foreign woman. Breathe in and
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 3: feel your heartbeat. As Boaz approaches you. Boaz speaks gently
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 3: to you, stay here with the women who work for me.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: You look into his eyes. They are warm, dancing with merriment.
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: At meal time, Boaz says to you, come over here,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: have some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: You feel him watching you as you take a piece
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: of bread and dip it in the vinegar. You eat
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 3: all you want and try not to blush. You didn't
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: realize how hungry you were. At the end of the day,
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: Boas gives you a huge basket of food that you
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: take home. You share your food and story with Naomi.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 3: Blessed be the man who took notice of you, Naomi says.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: Then Naomi suggests a bold plan. She tells you to
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: dress up and visit Boaz at night after he sorts
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: the grain out from the chaff. You hide your shock
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 3: as Naomi describes how to lay at his feet.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: Your heart flesh.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 3: But you still tell Naomi, okay, I'll do everything you say.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: You tiptoe passed the grain pile and hear Boaz snoring softly.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: You lay down quietly at his feet. At midnight, Boaz
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: wakes you up. You gather all your courage and ask
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: him to give you his cover of protection as your
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: family redeemer. His voice is tender. I am a guardian,
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: redeemer of our family, he tells you. If the other
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 3: guardian is not willing, I will do it. Boas hasn't
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: rejected you. He's welcomed you as family. As you fall
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 3: back asleep, savor the feeling that's someone kind will take
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 3: care of you. Rest for a moment and breathe in
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 3: that same spirit of trust from God. Breathe out, let
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: go of any earthly thing you're clinging to. The Next morning,
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 3: you go with Boaz to the town gate, surrounded by
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: a crowd of witnesses and neighbors. He commits himself to you.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 3: He tells the witnesses today you are witnesses that I
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 3: have acquired Ruth, the Moabite widow of Moland, to be
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 3: my wife. Then the witnesses cheer for you. They look
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: at you and speak this blessing over you. May the
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 3: Lord make you like Rachel and Leah, from whom all
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 3: the nation of isa Israel descended. Boaz beams with pride
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 3: as they slap him on the back. A few days later,
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 3: Naomi places a bridal veil over your head. She smiles
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: with tears in her eyes, reminding you of God's provision.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 3: Tears flow as you remember how far you've come. Only
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 3: because of the Lord's goodness has this dream come to pass.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 3: Soon you have your first child, a baby boy. All
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 3: your dreams have come true and more. You don't know
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 3: it yet, but your son Obd will be the grandfather
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 3: of David, the Great King of Israel. Through David's line,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: the Messiah will be born, Jesus the Redeemer for the
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 3: entire world. May you dream in peace, trust God's provision,
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: and lay your future in his hands. Just as God
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: provided richly for Ruth, he will provide richly for you.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: Bring anything that feels unresolved, relationships, projects, decisions, commit them
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: over to God and his plans, and receive this same
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 3: blessing that Ruth received. May the Lord, the God of Israel,
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: under whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 3: you fully for what you have done. Now shift your
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: mind away from today's tasks and worries. Soak in God's
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: presence and get comfortable. Close your eyes and relax. Breathe
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 3: in God's peace and breathe out your troubles.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: So pace your breathing now as you continue to listen
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: to the word of God as it's prayed over you
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: softly in this continuing time of peaceful relaxation. Just breathe
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: slowly and deeply as you listen to God's word for you.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: Just breathe, Just imagine, just dream. You can lie down
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: and sleep soundly because the Lord will keep you safe.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: For God is not a god of confusion, but of peace.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 2: Turn away from evil, do good, seek peace, Pursue peace.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 2: Cast all of your anxieties on him because he cares
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 2: for you. Sleep and wake up refreshed because the Lord
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: will protect and care for you. Now, may the God

  Speaker 2: of Peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the

  Speaker 2: coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Aim for restoration, Comfort

  Speaker 2: with you. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
• 3:50:16
  Speaker 2: will guard your heart and your mind. In Christ Jesus,
• 3:50:51
  Speaker 2: a tranquil heart gives life to the flesh. When your
• 3:51:25
  Speaker 2: away pleases the Lord, he makes even your enemies to
• 3:51:29
  Speaker 2: be at peace with you. Fold your hands and rest
• 3:51:34
  Speaker 2: in the presence of the Lord. Lie down and do
• 3:52:07
  Speaker 2: not be afraid. When you lie down, your sleep will
• 3:52:11
  Speaker 2: be sweet. Stay in peace. You will both lie down
• 3:52:51
  Speaker 2: and sleep, for the Lord alone will help you rest,
• 3:52:55
  Speaker 2: abide and dwell in safety. A time to love, a
• 3:53:31
  Speaker 2: time to hate, a time for war, a time for peace,
• 3:53:36
  Speaker 2: and a time for slumber. Salvation has come to you
• 3:54:12
  Speaker 2: by God's grace alone, through faith in Jesus alone. Salvation
• 3:54:16
  Speaker 2: is yours. Rest there. God's presence will go with you,
• 3:54:52
  Speaker 2: and he will give you rest. The spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
• 3:55:36
  Speaker 2: and faithfulness. For God is not a god of confusion,
• 3:56:13
  Speaker 2: but of peace. Turn away from evil, do good, seek peace,
• 3:56:51
  Speaker 2: Pursue peace. Cast all your anxieties on him because he
• 3:57:27
  Speaker 2: cares for you. Sleep and wake up refreshed because the
• 3:58:03
  Speaker 2: Lord will protect and care for you. Now, may the
• 3:58:37
  Speaker 2: God of Peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your
• 3:58:41
  Speaker 2: whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at
• 3:58:45
  Speaker 2: the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Glory be to
• 3:59:19
  Speaker 2: the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
• 3:59:23
  Speaker 2: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever
• 3:59:26
  Speaker 2: shall be world without end. Our Father in heaven, like
• 3:59:32
  Speaker 2: you send your son into the world, Send us now
• 3:59:34
  Speaker 2: into the world in the power of your Holy Spirit,
• 3:59:38
  Speaker 2: as ministers of reconciliation and ambassadors of your kingdom. As
• 3:59:43
  Speaker 2: we go, please bless us and keep us. Make your
• 3:59:47
  Speaker 2: face to shine upon us, and be gracious to us.
• 3:59:50
  Speaker 2: Lift your countenance upon us, and give us peace. In
• 3:59:54
  Speaker 2: the name of your son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.
• 3:59:58
