Episode Details

Gideon and 300 exhausted men cross the Jordan chasing 15,000. They ask Succoth for bread and get mocked. Penuel does the same. Two towns of unique covenantal privilege side with the enemy against the Lord's anointed deliverer. Reading Psalm 83 as inspired commentary, this episode exposes nationhood as God's post-Babel design — and asks what to do when the men in the pew and the men in the pulpit cheer on the destroyers of the nation.
