It was the “ Dark Ages ” for Israel , a time in the nation ’ s history when “ everyone did what was right in his own eyes ” ( Judges 21:25 ). Godly leadership was desperately needed . Join us for an in-depth study of this perplexing portrait of heroism , accelerated apostasy , and God ’ s faithfulness .
