Ruth 2 is where ordinary obedience meets extraordinary favor. In this episode of God’s Glory in Your Story, Hannah Castiaux and Pastor Steve Castiaux dive into the story of Ruth and Boaz to uncover how God’s providence works through simple, faithful steps. From Ruth’s courage in the field to Boaz’s godly leadership, we see that “as it happened” isn’t random—it’s redemption in motion. Together, Hannah and Pastor Steve unpack three key Hebrew words—favor (ḥēn), faithfulness (ḥesed), and holy fear (yir’ah)—and reveal how these truths still shape our walk with God today.
If you’re waiting on the Lord, weary from the work, or wondering if you’re seen, this conversation will strengthen your faith and remind you that you’re always under the wings of your Redeemer.
Tune in next week for Ruth chapter 3!

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Kristi Dorner to talk about how the church can show up and walk alongside women and men who have experienced abortion. Statistics show that 1 in 4 women have had an abortion, which means many of us are closer to this reality than we realize.
Rather than fueling a debate about being “pro-life” or “pro-choice,” this conversation focuses on compassion, presence, and practical ways we can respond as the body of Christ. We share surprising statistics, real insights, and tangible steps churches and individuals can take to better love, support, and walk with those carrying this unseen weight.
