They’re called legends, but not because they had it all together. The judges of ancient Israel were a wild bunch: prophets, warriors, outsiders, and deeply flawed human beings. Their stories are full of bloodshed, bravery, foolishness, and faith. In this series, we’ll explore these messy figures not as moral examples to copy but as reminders that God works through imperfect people to bring courage, justice, and unexpected hope. These aren’t fairy tales. They’re gritty, complicated, and oddly familiar. And through them, we’ll discover a God who still shows up in the chaos.
