Would Churches Empty or Overflow If We Followed Naomi's Lead?

It's easy in the Biblical book of Ruth to be so focused on the headline character (Ruth) that Naomi's story gets lost. But she has powerful lessons for us!

Grit. Authenticity. Courage. Grief. Self-less. And entirely captivating!

When she returns home and hears, "Naomi, is that you?", her answer can be quick to dismiss. But dig deeper and she models a principle we desperately need to practice in life. I wonder if we followed her lead whether our churches would empty -- or overflow.

In today's episode lean in and take a fresh look at this familiar story!
