Ruth Pt 8 | Uncovering the ”Feet”

Searching the Sacred

Season 5 | Ruth Pt 8 | Uncovering the ”Feet”

Part 8 of our dive into the book of Ruth is the episode about the 'FEET'. Ruth lies down next to Boaz, uncovers his feet, and seemingly requests for him to provide for her.

What is this all about? Is this a sexual thing? Is this a power thing and provision thing? Is it maybe both? Could it be that Ruth is actually reminding Boaz of how the system is supposed to work?

This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith…

40 Orchards, with Steph and Lisa, invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash.

In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good.

You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org.

Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions.

You can learn more about Processing Faith and sign-up for a free 45 min session by going to processingfaith.com.
