KATELYN ENTZ
Katelyn Entz is a writer and pastor at Lethbridge First Baptist Church with a Master of Divinity from Kairos University (previously North American Baptist Seminary, Sioux Falls, South Dakota). Her blog explores narrative and implicit theologies in Scripture and other written works. She formerly worked as a physical therapist but is now more interested in soul care, Scripture, and the intersection of theology with everyday life. Faithful Grace is her debut book.
Faithful Grace for an Unfaithful People invites readers into a deep and honest journey through the books of Judges and Ruth. In a time of chaos, violence, and spiritual confusion, Israel repeatedly turns away from God—yet God relentlessly pursues his people with mercy and justice. This guided Bible study focuses on Israel's call and failure to be God's kingdom people—from hopeful beginnings to tragic endings, and back to hope again.
Through historical insights, cultural reflections, and thoughtful discussion questions, this study encourages readers to examine their own patterns of distraction, compromise, and misplaced trust, while pointing them to the God who never gives up on them. This Bible study invites all to wrestle with the dark side of human nature and culture while discovering God's unshakable grace through failure and faith.
With a blend of theology, storytelling, and practical application, individuals and groups are guided to engage Scripture thoughtfully and personally. Whether readers are new to the Bible or deeply familiar with it, Faithful Grace for an Unfaithful People will grow their understanding of God's character—and their place within his ongoing story of redemption.
“Faithful Grace combines love for God and Scripture with theological hospitality and rigorous research to guide our study of the books of Judges and Ruth. Katelyn Entz courageously helps us ask important questions about God and God’s ways, and wrestle with the text until we come to know, love, and serve God better than before.”

An Offering
Writing is to paint a picture with
words. Bound by the constraints of language,
a rhyming meter, I find that words can
never capture, never seize with iron grasp
the warmth of sun, chirp of birds, or smell of grass.
Alas! Words can’t capture for an instant
any sort of being human in this world.
It’s insufficient, wholly so, even
over-reaching, grasping for the sublime
as if I were a god, but words are all
I have, you see. Language is inadequate.
I can’t paint, can’t draw, can’t sing, but I write,
hoping that each stumbling, stuttering
uttering might find its way to a home.
Words, words, how might they finally say just
what my heart longs to say? Vibrant passion,
brilliant love for all that’s good, all that
sings a melody that is more than song;
it will never be enough, but here I
lay my offering of words.
