The wall didn’t fall on day one, and yours might not either. In this episode, we look at the story of Jericho and what it teaches us about staying faithful while we wait for breakthrough.

If you’ve been taking the next step, trusting the process, and still wondering why nothing has changed yet, this episode is for you. Before Jericho’s walls ever came down, God’s people had to walk around the city once a day for six days, with nothing visibly happening. We'll unpack three truths from that story: some walls don’t fall on day one, obedience isn’t wasted even when it looks repetitive, and breakthrough comes after faithfulness, not instead of it. This episode continues the series started in Episode 46 (living intentionally) and Episode 47 (seeing God’s faithfulness in your past). Grab a notebook and pen and join us.

The same past you’ve been calling a record of regret might actually be a record of God’s provision. In this episode, we'll share how to look back at your life, not to relive regret, but to recognize God’s hand and grace through every season, even the hard ones.

If you’ve ever wondered how to live intentionally when you’re still carrying mistakes, wasted years, or things you wish you’d done differently, this episode picks up right where last week’s left off. Rooted in Psalm 77:11-12, we'll walk through how the same memory can tell two different stories depending on the lens you use, how nothing is wasted in God’s hands, even your own choices, and how seeing God’s faithfulness in your past actually fuels the courage to move forward today. You’ll also hear the story of Joseph, who was honest about what was done to him, and still saw God’s hand working through it for good.
