    Follow the Promises: The Battle for Surrender before the Battle for Victory

    Send us a text What if the fastest way to victory is to stop running and kneel? Walking through Joshua 4–5, we explore how God slows an eager nation on the brink of Jericho to secure a deeper win: remember His grace, cut away reliance on the flesh, and bow before holy presence. We start with the memorial of twelve stones—a public, generational sign that the Jordan’s miracle is about God’s action, not human effort. Like communion, it centers our story on the cross so we have something solid to hold when the river runs low and life feels dry. From there, the text gets uncomfortably practical. On hostile ground, God commands circumcision—a stunning picture of renouncing self-salvation. We name four signs that the flesh is steering: self-effort, legalism, anxiety, and comparison. Each is confronted and “cut off” by faith as we receive the Spirit’s power and let grace define our identity. Then the manna stops. Not because God withdraws love, but because He invites maturity. We move from surviving on daily drops to harvesting the land, savoring the richness of Scripture, and partnering with God in the growth He supplies. Finally, Joshua meets the Commander of the Lord’s army. “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” “No.” The holy answer reframes everything: the question is not whether God joins our plan, but whether we yield to His. Shoes come off. Worship begins. Strategy will follow, but surrender leads. When we remember the cross, submit the flesh, and bow before Jesus, shame is rolled away, courage rises without bravado, and obedience becomes the path of peace.

    Follow the Promises: Crossing The Jordan

    Send us a text Rivers don’t usually make way for you—unless Someone goes first. We explore the ancient crossing of the Jordan as a living map for modern change: moving from burnout and wandering to a life anchored in grace. Instead of selling you more willpower hacks, we name the three real choices in front of every heart under pressure: try harder, give up, or trust Jesus to make a way on dry ground. Along the way, we connect Hebrews and Joshua to show how the presence of God—not our plans—parts the flood, and why stepping in before the waters move is the surprising posture that unlocks peace, joy, and freedom. We talk candidly about law and grace without fluff. The law is good, but it can’t lead you or power you; grace does what the law cannot by giving you a new heart and the Spirit’s strength. If you’ve been stuck in cycles—numbing habits, shame spirals, or spiritual exhaustion—you’ll hear how identity in Christ changes the script. Sobriety becomes alignment with truth, purity becomes worship, and everyday choices start flowing from union with Jesus rather than fear or performance. The story’s details matter: the ark enters first, the people step next, and the river parts last. That sequence becomes a practical pattern for faith. Expect clear takeaways you can practice today: look to Jesus as the author and finisher of your faith, rest in His finished work rather than grinding for acceptance, and renew your mind in Scripture so your eyes stay on the One who loves you. Even mustard-seed trust is enough when its object is strong. Ready to leave the wilderness behind and cross your Jordan?

    Follow The Promises: The Ark of the Covenant Leads the Way

    Send us a text What if the best way through an impossible problem is to stop trusting yourself? We open with Israel camped at a flooded Jordan for three silent days and discover why God sometimes makes us stare at what we can’t fix: humility clears space for grace. From there, we follow the Ark of the Covenant and uncover how it points straight to Jesus—God with us, God for us, and God leading us where we’ve never walked before. We unpack the ark as more than ancient furniture. Its names proclaim Christ’s identity, its materials hint at the mystery of God and man, and its contents preach the gospel: the law fulfilled in Jesus, daily grace pictured in manna, and resurrection power in Aaron’s budding rod. Hebrews helps us trade yearly reminders of guilt for once-for-all forgiveness, so we draw near with a clean conscience and real boldness. No more spiritual bootstraps. No more bargaining with God. Just trust rooted in a finished work. If you’re facing a river you can’t cross—a breaking relationship, a stubborn habit, a heavy grief—this conversation is a map back to hope. We share how to sanctify your focus, keep your eyes on Christ, and expect God’s wonders without pretending to be strong. The takeaway is simple and freeing: Jesus measured up for you, supplies grace to you, and breathes life into what feels dead. Follow the ark. Let Him lead.

    Follow the Promises: Are they Really for Everyone?

    Send us a text What if the promised land isn’t a far-off heaven but a courageous way of living right now? We open Joshua 2 and sit with Rahab’s story to explore how real faith takes shape in imperfect lives and why God’s promises are strong enough to carry us through fear, uncertainty, and battle. Joshua prefigures Jesus, who leads us into a life marked by presence, purpose, and victory, not by the absence of struggle but by confidence in God’s character. Rahab hears what God has done and makes a daring choice. Her evidence-based faith disrupts shame and reshapes her future, turning a house on Jericho’s wall into a beacon of mercy. The scarlet cord she ties becomes a sign of salvation and a powerful picture of redemption through the blood of Jesus. We unpack how Hebrews 11 and James 2 fit together—faith as assurance in what we cannot see, and faith as action that aligns with what we believe—without turning the Christian life into a lifelong performance review. Instead, we focus on concrete responses to God’s promises that bear fruit in love, courage, and peace. Along the way, we confront fear with promises, remember that every person we meet bears an eternal soul, and rediscover grace big enough for outsiders and skeptics. Rahab’s legacy doesn’t end with rescue; it culminates in honor within the lineage of Jesus, proving that God writes new beginnings where we expect dead ends. If you’re craving peace, longing for purpose, or wrestling with whether grace could include you, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a path forward.

    Follow the Promises: God's Path to Victorious Life

    Send us a text Start with a claim that reframes everything: the promised land isn’t heaven. It’s a life of victory now, with real battles and real breakthroughs, led not by the law or your willpower, but by Jesus—our Joshua—who brings us into what God already promised to give. We walk through Joshua 1 as both history and a living guide, exploring how God’s promises move us from wandering to purpose, from pressure to presence, and from self-reliance to Spirit-led courage. We trace the arc of promise from Genesis to Joshua: a God who pledges to crush evil, calls a family to bless the world, rescues slaves by grace, and reveals that the law exposes need but cannot grant life. Then we stand on the riverbank with Israel and hear the language of gift: I will be with you, I will not forsake you. That presence is the guarantee. Victory isn’t earned through religious hustle; it’s received by faith as Christ lives in us. We talk about what it means to “meditate day and night,” not as performance but as staying close to the voice that steadies our steps. Faith becomes active—taking ground promise by promise, step by step. You’ll also hear how Joshua foreshadows Jesus—Yeshua by name—and why only He can lead us across our Jordan. We confront the modern wilderness of try-harder spirituality and replace it with be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Along the way, we highlight the power of community: helping one another into rest until everyone has possession of what God has given. If you’ve been stuck between fear and effort, this conversation offers a clear path forward: fix your eyes on Jesus, receive His indwelling life, and move with courage grounded in promise.

    Grace On The Move

    Send us a text What if missions felt less like pressure and more like partnership with the Father? We open Scripture in Romans 10, then show how grace—not guilt—can send, equip, and sustain real work in hard places. From a CarePoint in Cuyotenango, Guatemala to pastors’ networks in India, a growing Bible college in Nepal, and a grassroots movement in Pakistan, you’ll hear how small, faithful steps turn into lasting change when the Spirit leads. In Guatemala, Children’s HopeChest empowers kids and families with tutoring, talent nights that celebrate gifts, and women’s basket-making courses launched with local partners. In India, a coffee shop friendship grew into conferences and translations of Simple Grace in Hindi and Telugu, helping leaders shift from rule-keeping to relationship with Jesus. Nepal’s Evangelical Christian College—born during lockdown—now trains dozens of students and pastors for church planting, proving that courage and clarity can thrive even under pressure. Pakistan may be the most unexpected door of all. After a young leader translated Simple Grace into Urdu, Many pastors in Karachi gathered to learn and connect. The team now serves rural Sindh, where villages welcome teaching on the gospel of grace, supported by practical love like clean-water wells that cost about $150 each. This is missions that honors people, builds trust, and makes space for the good news to be heard. Our strategy stays simple: listen to God’s word, walk by the Spirit, and act from relationship. No arm-twisting. No plates passed. Just a clear invite to pray, give, or go as the Father leads. Want to take a next step? Scan the QR codes, learn more about each partner, and ask God how you can participate.

    How to Put the "Giving" in Thanksgiving

    Send us a text What if your generosity didn’t start with a percentage but with a conversation with God? As we close our long walk through First Corinthians, we step into chapter 16 and the often-misunderstood topic of giving. We contrast Old Covenant tithing with New Covenant freedom, tracing how the apostles move us from rule-keeping to Spirit-led generosity—and why that shift brings relief, joy, and purpose. We open the text where Paul organizes a collection for the saints and show how his instructions emphasize readiness, intentionality, and integrity over emotional pressure. Then we connect this with 2 Corinthians 9 to unpack the farmer’s wisdom: sow sparingly, reap sparingly; sow bountifully, reap bountifully. The promise isn’t a cash windfall but a richer harvest of spiritual and eternal good. Along the way, we tackle common myths—like “give 10 percent to earn blessings”—and replace them with four clear principles: give cheerfully, remember everything is gift, give with purpose and love, and refuse guilt or compulsion. We also get practical about preparing gifts in private, caring for family obligations, and directing support toward people in need, healthy local churches, and faithful missions. You’ll also hear Paul’s pastoral heart in his travel notes, his commendation of co-workers, and his final charge to watch, stand firm, be brave, be strong, and let all you do be done in love. The thread running through it all is identity: when grace defines who we are, generosity becomes a joyful reflection of our Father’s character. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by formulas or shamed by fundraising tactics, this conversation invites you back to the quiet place to ask, “Father, what would you have me do?” If this helped you breathe easier and think deeper about giving, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a short review. Your feedback helps more people discover freedom, joy, and purpose in Jesus. Support the show

    Suit Up

    Send us a text What if your current body isn’t built for your true future? We dive into 1 Corinthians 15 with a simple claim that changes everything: you’re wearing an earth suit now, but you’re destined for a heaven suit. Seeds don’t look like the plants they become, and your resurrected body won’t be a polished version of today’s aches and scars. It will be new in kind—incorruptible, powerful, and glorious—crafted to fully express the life of Christ already at work within you. We walk through Paul’s vivid contrasts and analogies—fish and birds built for their realms, stars each with their own glory—to show why skepticism about resurrection misses the point. Then we zoom out to the story of Adam and Christ. Adam handed down life that ends; Jesus shares resurrection life with those who believe. That shift in identity reframes everything: the outer self may fade, but the inner life is renewed. We look to the risen Jesus as the best preview of our future body—embodied yet unbound by decay—and discuss the mystery of the rapture and the “last trumpet” with curiosity and care, setting speculation aside to center the clear promise: death is swallowed up in victory. This hope is not abstract. It calls us to live steady, immovable, and generous lives today—loving our families, serving our communities, forgiving freely, and refusing to quit. If death has lost its sting, then our labor in the Lord is never wasted. Listen for a clear, Scripture-rich journey through resurrection hope, a thoughtful take on the rapture, and a grounded call to suit up with faith that works through love. If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review telling us what part most strengthened your faith. Support the show
