    629: One Decision At A Time

    Send a text In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness podcast, we unpack what it means to lead your life one decision at a time.  Joshua didn’t conquer the land through reputation; he did it through faithfulness. He showed up and he obeyed. He trusted God’s promises even when the opposition was intimidating.   As men, we often want the big breakthrough and the instant transformation. But Joshua 11 reminds us that lasting victory is built on small, faithful choices stacked on top of each other.  In this episode, we’ll discuss: ·      Why fear loses its grip when obedience takes the lead ·      The danger of partial obedience and why thorough faithfulness matters ·      How leadership is shaped more by daily discipline than big moments ·      What it looks like to trust God when the opposition seems overwhelming If you feel like you’re facing a coalition of pressure at work, at home, spiritually this episode will challenge you to focus on what’s right in front of you.

    628: Follow Through For Future Battles

    Send a text Joshua 10 reminds us that obedience doesn’t end when the agreement is made—it’s proven when pressure comes. After Israel’s covenant with the Gibeonites in Joshua 9, Joshua is immediately pulled into a fight he didn’t initiate but is still responsible to finish. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we look at what it means for men to follow through when commitment becomes costly. Joshua doesn’t hesitate, delay, or look for a way out. He shows up, fights hard, and trusts the Lord to do what only God can do—even to the point of the sun standing still. This chapter challenges us to consider how our present faithfulness prepares us for future battles. Half-hearted obedience, delayed action, or unfinished work doesn’t just affect today—it weakens us for what’s coming next. God honors men who keep their word, stand firm under pressure, and move forward in confidence that the battle ultimately belongs to Him.

    627: Why Are We So Easily Deceived?

    Send a text In Joshua 9, Israel wins battles on the battlefield but stumbles in the conference room. The Gibeonites don’t defeat Israel with swords or strength, but with worn clothes, stale bread, and a convincing story. And the most dangerous line in the chapter may be this: “They did not ask counsel from the Lord.” In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we wrestle with why deception so often works on us as men. Why do we trust appearances, rush decisions, and rely on our own judgment—especially after seasons of victory? Joshua 9 exposes how spiritual confidence can quietly turn into self-reliance, and how failing to slow down and seek the Lord can lead to long-term consequences. This episode challenges men to examine where they may be operating on assumption instead of prayer, instinct instead of obedience, and confidence instead of humility. True strength isn’t found in quick decisions—it’s found in dependence on the Lord who sees what we cannot.

    626: Becoming A Man Who Follows Through

    Send us a text Joshua 8 shows us that failure does not have to be the end of the story but it does demand obedience and follow-through. After the defeat at Ai in chapter 7, the Lord restores Israel, gives clear instruction, and calls Joshua and the people to move forward with courage and precision. This time, they listen. This time, they do exactly what God says. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we look at what it means to become men who don’t just start strong but finish faithfully. Joshua 8 reminds us that obedience requires patience, discipline, and trust in God’s plan even when it’s slower, more strategic, or less dramatic than we’d prefer. We also see Joshua model leadership that follows through on God’s Word, not just in battle, but in worship. After the victory, Joshua builds an altar, reads the Law aloud, and leads the people in remembrance. Real manhood isn’t just about winning fights—it’s about finishing the work God gives us and anchoring our lives in His truth.

    625: The Wake Up Call We Need

    Send us a text In Joshua 7, victory gives way to defeat and the reason is uncomfortable. Sin is hidden, accountability is avoided, and God’s people pay the price.  On today's episode we discuss how we need a wake-up call for men who want strength without holiness and progress without obedience. We’ll unpack Achan’s compromise, Israel’s failure to seek the Lord, and the sobering truth that private sin always has public consequences. But this chapter isn’t just a warning it’s an invitation. An invitation to lead with integrity, to deal honestly with what’s hidden, and to pursue the kind of manhood that takes God seriously, even when it costs us.

    624: The Unorthodox Way of The Lord

    Send us a text God’s ways are rarely what we would expect, and Joshua 6 makes that unmistakably clear. As Israel stands before the walls of Jericho, the Lord doesn’t hand them a battle plan built on strength, strategy, or military dominance. Instead, He calls them to obedience, patience, and trust in a plan that makes no sense by human standards. In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness Podcast, we explore the unorthodox way of the Lord and what it reveals about biblical manhood. What does it look like to lead when God’s instructions challenge our pride, logic, and desire for control? How do men remain faithful when obedience feels foolish or slow? Joshua 6 reminds us that true strength is found not in force, but in faith and that victory belongs to the Lord alone.  Learn more about The Pursuit of Manliness: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/  Join The Herd:  https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/join-the-herd   Build your own local Tribe with Tribe Builder: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/tribe-builder Register for our 2026 Fall Men's Retreat: https://www.thepursuitofmanliness.com/gear/p/2026-mens-retreat Support the show
