Rogue is the study of Barak & Jael, a story in which one man’s shady backstory and one woman’s courageously decisive actions became the catalyst to ancient Israel’s freedom.
Like most of us, facing the shadows of past experiences or mastering a routine chore was probably of little interest to Barak and Jael. We all have those annoying little things that have to be done, and we do them because we have to although, often we would rather not. Yet for Barak, his ability to overcome his past, and for Jael, her ability to successfully complete a routine task became the defining moments of their lives.
We will observe them as we walk in imaginary ancient sandals alongside them, witnessing subjugation, hardship and cruelties that fueled their passion to help free their burdened neighbors. Let us walk alongside them in the depths of our thoughts and study the Rogue yet courageous actions of Barak & Jael that led an oppressed people to find freedom.

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;
in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
Psalm 25:1-2 NIV
