About this listen

 In this gripping episode of Finish the Race, we dive deep into Judges 8, where Gideon’s leadership and God-ordained mission come to a climactic close. After defeating the Midianites, Gideon’s journey doesn’t end—he confronts betrayal from within Israel’s own borders. The men of Ephraim, Succoth, and Penuel all challenge his authority, but Gideon doesn’t flinch. With divine confidence, he calls out cowardice and delivers justice to those who doubted God’s anointed deliverer.

As the narrative unfolds, listeners are reminded that the true battle is often fought after the victory. Gideon pursues the fleeing kings of Midian—Zebah and Zalmunna—demonstrating how perseverance is required to complete God's calling. In a world full of unfinished missions and spiritual compromise, Gideon’s story is a clarion call to finish the race with integrity, boldness, and obedience. The episode closes with a powerful reflection on Gideon’s decision to refuse kingship, reminding us that true leadership doesn’t seek glory but honors God alone.

Yet even as Gideon makes an ephod that becomes a stumbling block, we confront the sobering truth about legacy, idol worship, and the generational consequences of spiritual choices. Don’t miss this fiery and convicting exposition from Judges 8—it’s not just history, it’s prophecy in action.
