For fantastic extra content, join us at / enlightenedgeedu where you will also be supporting the podcast. This week the extra content will help us learn more about the story of the Judges in the Promised Land. With a lot of pictures and video that go beyond what is in the podcast, Kerry goes into great detail about how the whole things worked and allows you to picture it with much greater clarity.

In this episode Kerry teaches you what it the word judge and judgement really mean, and how it will affect the way you understand hundreds of scriptures and hugely important concepts in the Gospel. Then in a roundtable the oddities and importance of the era of the judges is explained. Then Kerry and Camille Fronk Olson discuss Debora as a prophetess and judge. Then Kerry and George Pierce explain archaeology that will help you understand the era. Then Kerry helps us draw on some of the most important lessons from the Book of Judges by comparing the Gideon and Samson stories.
