Sis. Lori Newbold
“My Heart Rejoiceth in the Lord”
PART 1
What do you do when God’s plan looks nothing like the one you had for yourself? Professor Lori Newbold explores the timeless stories of Ruth, Naomi, and Hannah, uncovering what loyalty, grief, and a relational faith in Christ can teach us about trusting God through life’s most unexpected detours.
PART 2
Professor Lori Newbold draws on her background in theology and mental health to illuminate Hannah’s extraordinary faith, her meekness under provocation, her wordless prayers of grief, and the surprising truth that being a mother, like being a disciple, is not a destination we wait for but an identity we live now.

Dr. Lori Denning
“The Lord Raised Up a Deliverer”
PART 1
What happens to a covenant people when they repeatedly abandon God, fall into oppression, cry out for deliverance, and then do it all over again? Dr. Lori Denning explores the Book of Judges as a cautionary tale of broken covenants, unexpected heroes, and the Lord’s unfailing faithfulness to a stumbling people.
PART 2
Dr. Lori Denning turns to two of Israel’s most complicated judges, Gideon and Samson, and shows how gifted, Spirit-empowered men and women can unravel under the weight of pride and broken covenants, and why their stories are less a museum exhibit than a mirror.

Dr. Camille Fronk Olson
“Be Strong and of a Good Courage”
PART 1
What do a former harlot, a river that parted on faith, and a pile of rocks have in common–and what does God want you to remember about all three? Dr. Camille Fronk Olson unpacks the first four chapters of Joshua from Rahab’s unlikely covenant to the twelve stones pulled from the Jordan riverbed as a reminder that the Lord’s power is worth remembering.
PART 2
From a man with a sword outside Jericho to five daughters who stood before Moses and changed the law of inheritance, Dr. Camille Fronk Olson continues to examine covenant renewal, Achan’s costly disobedience, Caleb asking for his mountain, and Joshua’s thundering challenge to a nation.
