Judges 8: Gideon's Outward Victory and Inward Defeat | Gideon begins well but ends poorly. Having restored faith in God as the rescuer of Israel, Gideon allows the people to place him on a pedestal that God alone should have occupied, leading them to worship his armor, resulting in idolatry.Journey 8 | Leadership . Journey Eight takes us into the heart of biblical leadership. Joshua leads us into the Promised Land with strength and courage, but Judges delivers a stark commentary on the dangers of relativism and living right in your own eyes. Yet in the midst of tragic times, Ruth provides one the greatest love stories in all antiquity. Then in 1&2 Timothy, Paul trains his apprentice in the ways of humble, Christ-like leadership.
