Ruth & Boaz: The Live Story We’ve Been Waiting For

✨ Netflix dropped Ruth & Boaz and I had to sit down and write about it. This film felt like a Black Hallmark movie simple, sweet, faith filled, and exactly the kind of love story we’ve been waiting for.

In my review I kept it mostly spoiler free, but I had plenty to say about Serayah McNeill, Tyler Lepley, Felicia Rashad, and those surprise musical cameos 👀

Tap the link in my bio or head to candichronicles.com to read the full review. Trust me, if you’ve been craving a hopeful, feel good love story this is it.

Ruth wasn’t waiting for her future. She was walking into it.🚶🏽‍♀️
🌾 Did you know Ruth wasn’t an Israelite? She was a Moabite woman who chose to leave behind everything familiar—her homeland, her culture, and her comfort—to follow the God of Israel. Most people remember Ruth as Boaz’s wife, but her story began long before romance entered the picture. Ruth’s journe

Bible Study feels like a puzzle sometimes
I used to get so stuck on Ruth 3:13. Why all the secrecy? Why the "kinsman-redeemer" focus? I realized that for me, seeing is understanding. I started creating these storyboards to bridge the gap between "just reading" and actually "seeing" God's plan unfold. It has c

A graphic titled 'Not Every Situation is a Ruth & Boaz Situation or Ending' features a woman in pink, roses, and hearts. It contrasts biblical stories like Ruth & Boaz, David & Bathsheba, Orpah, and Esther, emphasizing that not all endings are romantic. It advises trusting God's plan, walking in purpose, and not comparing one's story to others.
