• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Begins, settle them. As the story of Ruth and Naomi
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: unfolds through the eyes of Ruth, imagine the world that
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Ruth saw. Look once again past your grain fields and crops,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: decimated by drought and famine. You've lost everything. See a
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: spot under oak trees where sadly your husband, Mollin is buried. Naomi,
• 2:19
  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
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: at you and speak this blessing over you. May the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Lord show you kindness. May he help you find rest
• 2:54
  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.
• 3:18
  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,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Naomi says to you, your sister in law has gone
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: back to her people and to her gods. You should
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: do the same. But you have made up your mind.
• 3:46
  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,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I will go. Wherever you live, I will live. Your
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: people will be my people, and your God will be
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there
• 4:17
  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
• 4:38
  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
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit fill you with faith. Rest now in God's arms.
• 5:12
  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
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: couldn't be happier. You stand in a field thick with grain.
• 5:31
  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
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Boaz's voice booming to the harvesters, blessing them the Lord
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: be with you. Your cheeks flush. His deep baritone voice
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: reminds you of your late husband Mollen. Secretly, you long
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: for a strong and kind companion. Embarrassed by your thoughts,
• 6:05
  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 4: You?
• 6:16
  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
• 6:34
  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
• 6:54
  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.
• 7:07
  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
• 7:25
  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.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: You hide your shock as Naomi describes how to lay
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: at his feet. Your heart flutters, but you still tell Naomi, okay,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: I'll do everything you say. You tiptoe passed the grain
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: pile and hear Boaz snoring softly. You lay down quietly
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: at his feet. At midnight, Boaz wakes you up. You
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: gather all your courage and ask him to give you
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: his cover of protection as your family redeemer. His voice
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: is tender. I am a guardian, redeemer of our family,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: he tells you. If the other guardian is not willing,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: I will do it. Boas hasn't rejected you. He's welcomed
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: you as family. As you fall back asleep, savor the
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: feeling that someone kind will take care of you. Rest
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: for a moment and breathe in that same spirit of
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: trust from God. Breathe out, Let go of any earthly
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: thing you're clinging to. The Next morning, you go with
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Boaz to the town gate, surrounded by a crowd of
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: witnesses and neighbors. He commits himself to you. He tells
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the witnesses today you are witnesses that I have acquired Ruth,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: the Moabite widow of Moland, to be my wife. Then
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: the witnesses cheer for you. They look at you and
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: speak this blessing over you. May the Lord make you
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: like Rachel and Leah, from whom all the nation of
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Israel descended. Boaz beams with pride as they slap him
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: on the back. A few days later, Naomi places a
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: bridal eye over your head. She smiles with tears in
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: her eyes, reminding you of God's provision. Tears flow as
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: you remember how far you've come. Only because of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Lord's goodness has this dream come to pass. Soon you
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: have your first child, a baby boy. All your dreams
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: have come true and more. You don't know it yet,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: but your son Obd will be the grandfather of David,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the Great King of Israel. Through David's line, the Messiah
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: will be born Jesus the redeemer for the entire world.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: May you dream in peace, trust God's provision, and lay
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: your future in his hands. Just as God provided richly
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: for Ruth, he will provide richly for you. Bring anything
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: that feels unresolved, relationships, projects, decisions, commit them over to
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: God and his plans, and receive this same blessing that
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Ruth received. May the Lord, the God of Israel, under
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: fully for what you have done. Now shift your mind
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: away from today's tasks and worries. Soak in God's presence
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: and get comfortable. Close your eyes and relax. Breathe in
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: 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
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: softly in this continuing time of peaceful relaxation. Just breathe
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: slowly and deeply as you listen to God's word for you.
• 12:31
  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.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Turn away from evil, do good, seek peace, pursue peace.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Cast all of your anxieties on him because he cares
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: for you. Sleep and wake up refreshed because the Lord
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: will protect and care for you. Now, may the God
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: of Peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: spirit and soul and body be kept blameless with the
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Aim for restoration, Comfort

  Speaker 2: and that you may be in good health, as it
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: goes well with your soul. And let the peace of

  Speaker 2: Christ rule in your heart, to which indeed you were called,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: and be thankful. Stay in peace. You will both lie

  Speaker 2: and ever shall be world without end. Our Father in Heaven,
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: like you send your son into the world, Send us

  Speaker 2: as ministers of reconciliation and ambassadors of your Kingdom. This
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: soothing story from holy scripture will help you softly fall
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: asleep in the caring arms of God, who loves you
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: and watches over you as you rest. As you begin,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: shift your mind slowly away from to day's tasks and worries.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: Soak instead in God's presence and begin to get comfortable.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: Close your eyes and relax. Breathe in God's peace and
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: breathe out your troubles. If you fall asleep before the
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: story is finished, all the better. I give you permission
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: now to fall asleep and dream sweet dreams. God is
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: present too even while you dream. Listen to me. Pray
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: for you now as you begin to sleep. Dear God,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 2: for this cherished child of yours. Fill their heart and
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: mind fresh with your presence and peace. Invite them to
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: you and give them the rest for their souls. Let
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: their sleep be easy as you lift their burdens in sleep.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: And now may your Holy Spirit guide their dreams and
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: renew their hearts as they rest in you in Jesus name.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: Now drift off to the land of dreams as the
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: story begins.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: Settle in as the story of Ruth and Naomi unfolds
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: through the eyes of Ruth. Imagine the world that Ruth saw.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: Look once again past your grain fields and crops, decimated
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: by drought and famine. You've lost everything. See a spot
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: under oak trees where sadly your husband Mollin is buried. Naomi,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: your mother in law, comes outside and sees you looking
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 3: sadly out at the land. She grieves too, and has
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 3: lost both her sons. There's nothing left for her here.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: She wants to go back to her land. Still, she
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: wants nothing but the best for you. See Naomi smile
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: at you and speak this blessing over you. May the
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: Lord show you kindness. May he help you find rest
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 3: in another home. Naomi has been so kind to you.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: Your stepsister decides to leave Naomi and go back to
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: her old friends and family. What will you do? You
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: are so thankful for the kindness she has shown you.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: If you stay with Naomi, you will go to a
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: new land and live in a new place without much money,
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: but you'll do it with someone you love and trust. Look,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 3: Naomi says to you, your sister in law has gone
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: back to her people and to her gods. You should
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: do the same. But you have made up your mind.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 3: Don't ask me to leave you and turn back. You say,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: your heart fills with love for her. Wherever you go,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 3: I will go. Wherever you live, I will live. Your
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: people will be my people, and your God will be
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: my God. Wherever you die, I will die, and there
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 3: I will be back buried. Naomi sees your devotion and smiles.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: You both prepare for the trip to this new land together.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: You pack your belongings and go to sleep. As you
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 3: close your eyes, you dream of the new places and
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 3: people you will see tomorrow. Rest for a moment and
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: breathe in that same spirit of trust from God. Breathe
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: out and release your worries. Breathe in and let the
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit fill you with faith. Rest now in God's arms.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: You take off the cloth that covers your head, shake
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: it out, and rewrap it ac forehead. The hot sun
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: is beating down on you this morning, but you couldn't
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 3: be happier. You stand in a field thick with grain.
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: A wealthy man named Boaz has let you pick his
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: leftover barley. As you walk behind his workers, you hear
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: Boaz's voice booming to the harvesters, blessing them. The Lord
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 3: be with you. Your cheeks flush his deep baritone voice
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: reminds you of your late husband Mollin. Secretly, you long
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: for a strong and kind companion. Embarrassed by your thoughts,
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: you glue your eyes to the ground. You overhear Boaz
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: quiz a foreman, who does that young woman belong to.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 5: You?
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: Hear him asking about you, and wonder whether he will
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: despise you because you're a foreign woman. Breathe in and
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: feel your heart beat. As Boaz approaches you. Boaz speaks
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 3: gently to you, stay here with the women who work
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: for me. You look into his eyes. They are warm,
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: dancing with merriment. At meal time, Boaz says to you,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: come over here, have some bread and dip it in
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: the wine vinegar. You feel him watching you as you
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: take a piece of bread and dip it in the vinegar.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 3: You eat all you want and try not to blush.
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: You didn't realize how hungry you were. At the end
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 3: of the day, Boaz gives you a huge basket of
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 3: food that you take home. You share your food and
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 3: story with Naomi. Blessed be the man who took notice
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 3: of you, Naomi says. Then Naomi suggests a bold plan.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: She tells you to dress up and visit Boaz at night.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: After he sorts the grain out from the chaff. You
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 3: hide your shock as Naomi describes how to lay at
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 3: his feet. Your heart flutters, but you still tell Naomi, okay,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 3: I'll do everything you say. You tiptoe passed the grain
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 3: pile and hear Boaz snoring softly. You lay down quietly
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 3: at his feet. At midnight, Boaz wakes you up. You
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: gather all your courage and ask him to give you
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: his cover of protection as your family redeemer. His voice
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 3: is tender. I am a guardian, redeemer of our family,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: he tells you. If the other guardian is not willing,
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: I will do it. Boas hasn't rejected you. He's welcomed
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 3: you as family. As you fall back asleep, savor the
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: feeling that someone kind will take care of you. Rest
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: for a moment and breathe in that sane spirit of
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 3: trust from God. Breathe out, let go of any earthly
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: thing you're clinging to. The Next morning, you go with
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 3: Boaz to the town gate, surrounded by a crowd of
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 3: witnesses and neighbors. He commits himself to you. He tells
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 3: the witnesses today you are witnesses that I have acquired Ruth,
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: the Moabite widow of Molin, to be my wife. Then
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: the witnesses cheer for you. They look at you and
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 3: speak this blessing over you. May the Lord make you
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 3: like Rachel and Leah, from whom all the nation of
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 3: Israel descended. Boaz beams with pride as they slap him
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 3: on the back. A few days later, Naomi places a
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: bridal veil over your head. She smiles with tears in
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 3: her eyes, reminding you of God's provision. Tears flow as
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 3: you remember how far you've come. Only because of the
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: Lord's goodness has this dream come to pass. Soon you
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: have your first child, a baby boy. All your dreams
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 3: have come true and more. You don't know it yet,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 3: but your son Obd will be the grandfather of David,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: the Great King of Israel. Through David's line, the Messiah
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: will be born, Jesus, the Redeemer for the entire world.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: May you dream in peace, trust God's provision, and lay
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 3: your future in his hands. Just as God provided richly
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 3: for Ruth, he will provide richly for you. Bring anything
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: that feels unresolved, relationships, projects, decisions, commit them over to
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 3: God and his plans and receive this same blessing that
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: Ruth received. May the Lord, the God of Israel, under
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 3: whose wings you have come to take refuge, reward you
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: fully for what you have done. Now shift your mind
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 3: away from today's tasks and worries. Soak in God's presence
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: and get comfortable. Close your eyes and relax. Breathe in
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: God's peace and breathe out your troubles.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: So peace your breathing now as you continue to listen
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: to the word of God as it's prayed over you
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: softly in this continuing time of peaceful relaxation. Just breathe
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: slowly and deeply as you listen to God's word for you.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: Just breathe, Just imagine, just dream. You can lie down
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: and sleep soundly because the Lord will keep you safe.
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: For God is not a god of confusion, but of peace.

• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: from the Holy Spirit. Let it buffer you from distraction.
