  • 292 // The Gift Has a Giver
    2026/06/14

    The land got handed out before the war was even over.

    In Joshua 13 and 14, an old leader stands in front of an unfinished map, and God tells him to start giving the inheritance away anyway. David Leventhal walks through what it means to receive your whole life as a gift instead of a trophy, why the things you leave undone tend to get handed down, and how ordinary obedience becomes worship. It's a reminder that the gift is good, but the Giver is always better.

  • 291 // The God Who Keeps His Word
    2026/06/07

    God doesn't make empty promises. But what happens when the battle is long and the opposition looks overwhelming? In Joshua 11–12, Brad Kirby walks through the final stages of Israel's conquest: an army gathered like sand on a seashore, a campaign that stretched on far longer than expected, and a list of thirty-one victories that doubles as a testimony of God's faithfulness. Whether you're fighting something that feels bigger than you or you just need to remember how many times God has already come through, this message is for you.

  • 290 // Finish the Fight
    2026/05/26

    In Joshua 10, five defeated kings are hiding in a cave while Joshua tells his army to keep moving. In this message, Brad Kirby unpacks what God calls His people to do with a victory He's already secured: not coast, not strive, but move forward in courageous, full obedience — and then return to rest in the One who won it. Whether apathy or anxious striving has a grip on you, this message has something to say.

  • 289 // The Lord Fought for Israel
    2026/05/24

    Sometimes the most dangerous decision is the one that feels completely reasonable.

    Five armies are closing in, and God is about to do something the Bible says had never happened before and has never happened since.

    In Joshua 10:1-15, David Leventhal shows us that God does not wait for our circumstances to be clean before He shows up. He works in the middle of chaotic, compromised, trainwreck situations, and He fights for His people even when they helped create the mess they are in. Whether you are exhausted from marching on your own or you are ready to hear that the decisive work in your battles belongs to the Lord, this message is worth your time.

  • 288 // Don't Trust the Bread
    2026/05/18

    Sometimes the most dangerous decision is the one that feels completely reasonable.

    In Joshua 9, Israel gets deceived and not because they stopped caring about God. They asked questions. They looked at the evidence. They did their due diligence. They just never asked God. Brad Kirby unpacks this ancient story and shows how spiritual carelessness rarely looks like rebellion. It looks like a practical decision made without prayer. Four lessons for anyone who wants to stop trusting only what they can see and start seeking the God who sees everything.

  • 287 // When God Calls Timeout
    2026/05/11

    Right in the middle of a military campaign, Joshua stops everything for a worship ceremony. It sounds like terrible timing. It is actually the whole point.

    In Joshua 8:30–35, Brad Kirby unpacks one of the most unexpected moments in the book of Joshua and shows why Israel's pause between two mountains has everything to say about how any of us sustain real victory in life. This message traces three movements: resting in God's grace, returning to God's Word, and walking in covenant obedience. If you have ever tried to sustain the Christian life on sheer willpower, this one is for you.

  • 286 // A Fresh Start
    2026/05/03

    You can't undo a bad decision. But you can find out what God does with the people who make them.

    In Joshua 8, after a humiliating defeat and the painful exposure of sin in the camp, Israel gets another shot at the city of Ai. This time everything changes. Joshua seeks God's instruction, the whole army follows His plan, and the victory is total. Josh Fortney walks through what it looks like to move from presumption to genuine dependence, and what happens when we actually trust that God's way is better than our own.

    2026/04/27

    One man's hidden sin. An entire nation's defeat. And a God who says get up before the grief runs dry.

    Brad Kirby, Josh Fortney, and David Leventhal sit down around the table with Joshua 7 in a candid, unscripted conversation. They work through Achan's sin and its ripple effect on the whole community, the overconfidence that crept in after Jericho, Joshua's raw lament, and what it actually looks like when God corrects the people he loves. If you have ever wondered why God takes sin so seriously, or what comes next after you have blown it, this conversation is worth your time.
