Joshua: Land Ho!
Arrr, mateys, lend an ear, for the tale of Joshua be as fierce as a squall on the open sea! After the old sea dog Moses sails off into the sunset, young Joshua takes the wheel, leadin’...wait, this isn't a pirate-themed episode? Wow. This is awkward. Maybe we all need to go read Joshua or listen to this podcast. Our bad.
In this episode, we dive into the book of Joshua, unpacking its epic narrative, profound symbolism, and the timeless lessons it holds for all of us. Together, we explore:
How Joshua steps into Moses’ shoes and leads God’s people into the Promised Land.
The fulfillment of God’s promises, alongside the spiritual struggles that don’t magically disappear.
Rahab’s surprising redemption story and Achan’s cautionary tale.
How we can wrestle with tough questions about God’s justice in the conquest of Canaan.
We also share tips for tackling those challenging sections (yes, even the land allocation chapters) and talk about how Joshua connects to the bigger story of Scripture—and ultimately points us to Jesus.
Be sure to grab our Joshua one-pager from the show notes to guide your reading, and share this episode with someone you know who might enjoy digging deeper into God’s Word. Join us next time as we jump into Judges!
