FORMED TOGETHER:
Discovering the God Who Stays

"Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God."
— Ruth 1:16

This four-week journey through the Book of Ruth invites LIFEgroups into a season of noticing where God moves when life falls apart. Through Scripture, honest conversation, and simple weekly practices, we explore grief, belonging, steadfast love, and courage. Each week moves us deeper: Naomi returns home empty and tells the truth about her pain, Ruth gleans at the edge of a field as a foreigner hoping someone will let her stay, Boaz moves beyond the minimum the law requires and discovers the power of hesed, and two widows take a holy risk toward a future no one else was offering them. Rather than asking us to find God in spectacular moments, this series invites us to look toward the edges, to trust that God is present among the grieving, the overlooked, and the outsider, and to practice the kind of love that refuses to leave.
