    Follow the Promises: The Costco Sample Chapter

    Send a text A single line from Joshua 9 stops us cold: they did not ask counsel of the Lord. We’ve all been there—sold by a convincing “sample,” trusting our senses, moving fast, and calling it wisdom. This conversation unpacks how self-sufficient independence quietly becomes the enemy of a life with God, and how humility, not hustle, is the operating system of the kingdom. We walk through the Gibeonites’ deception with clear eyes. They manipulated their way into a covenant, but under the lie was a real fear of the Lord and a longing to belong. Joshua exposes the falsehood, yet spares their lives and assigns them to serve near the altar. That move is the heartbeat of grace: truth tells the hard story, and mercy writes a new chapter. Over time, these once-deceivers stand with Israel as warriors and even appear among prophets and mighty men. Redemption does not just forgive; it re-forms. We ground the call to humility in the life of Jesus. Philippians 2 shows power laid down, not lost—God the Son choosing the servant’s path all the way to the cross. From there, we get practical: how to pause before decisions, ask God for wisdom without shame (James 1), open Scripture with expectation, and keep returning until clarity comes. We explore covenant security—sealed by the Spirit, not until your next mistake, but unto redemption—and how God turns rushed choices into meaningful service when we bring them into the light. If you’ve ever made a hasty treaty with consequences that linger, this is a gentle invitation to slow down, seek counsel, and step closer to the altar where pretenders become participants.

    Follow the Promises: Blessings, Curses, Battlestar Galactica

    Send a text Two mountains. One covenant. A people paused mid‑campaign to build an altar from uncut stones and hear the entire law read aloud. We step into Joshua 8 and Deuteronomy 27–28 to feel the weight of blessing and curse—and then follow that line straight to Galatians and Hebrews, where the pressure of perfection is answered by a perfect Savior. Instead of polishing our altars, we learn why God insisted on raw stone: access to Him is never dressed up by human effort. The law exposes what’s broken; it cannot mend the break. That’s why Christ became a curse for us, so the blessing promised to Abraham would reach us by faith. We talk through the logic of the old covenant—do this and live, fail and die—and how it was designed to tutor us toward grace. The sacrifices of Israel formed identity and offered temporary relief, but the cross offers a once‑for‑all atonement that doesn’t depend on our precision. Ephesians says every spiritual blessing is already ours in Christ. Romans assures there is no condemnation for those who walk by the Spirit. Titus shows how grace doesn’t excuse sin; it teaches us to deny it. Obedience shifts from ladder‑climbing to identity‑living: we don’t perform to be loved; we act from being loved. Along the way, we draw a surprising line from sci‑fi’s high‑stakes survival to the human ache for certainty—and why salvation cannot rest on flawless execution. If the altar is God’s work and the offering is Christ’s, then worship becomes simple again: just Jesus, the Lamb who takes away sin and settles anxious hearts. You’re not stuck between two futures anymore; you’re seated with Christ. Press play to rediscover the freedom of grace, the end of condemnation, and the joy of walking by the Spirit.

    Follow the Promises: Second Chances

    Send a text Ever faced a place you wish you could erase? We return to Ai with Joshua and uncover why God answers the sting of failure with a promise before a plan: do not fear; I have given it into your hand. That order changes everything. We talk through how grace, not grit, restores courage, and why the gospel never says try harder but go again with Me. We unpack the living power of Scripture and the role of the Holy Spirit in turning words on a page into strength in our bones. You’ll hear why human reasoning—small city, small force—missed the point, and how humility unlocked a strategy that worked because it came from a faithful God. We connect Joshua’s leadership to our daily lives: community matters, pride blinds, and obedience grows from trust. From ambush to victory, the story shows that success isn’t the result of better tactics but of walking with the One who keeps His word. Anchored in Romans 8, we press into a fearless truth: we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us, and nothing can separate us from that love. Even when feelings fade, the cross stands as proof that love has the final word. Second chances aren’t a new try at self-salvation; they’re invitations to humility and faith—like the thief on the cross who could only look and trust. If you’re standing at your own Ai, carrying regret or fear, this conversation offers a clear path forward: listen to the promise, lean on the Spirit, walk with your people, and let grace take the lead.

    Follow The Promises: Aye Aye Ai!

    Send a text Walls fell at Jericho when we stayed quiet, circled in faith, and kept our eyes on God’s presence. Then we met Ai—a smaller fight that exposed a bigger problem. This conversation digs into Joshua 7, the hidden stash in Achan’s tent, and the subtle pride that sneaks in when victory feels easy. We wrestle with the tension between grace and holiness, why secret compromises drain peace, and how self-sufficiency masquerades as wisdom right up to the moment it fails. We walk through Joshua’s response—tearing garments, bowing low, waiting before the ark—and how humility opens the door for God’s clarity. You’ll hear why “Christ in you, the hope of glory” isn’t abstract theology but the only way to stand when temptation comes. We unpack what sanctify yourselves looks like today: bringing every room of the heart into the light, refusing “my stuff” closets, and trusting that exposure under grace heals faster than hiding under shame. And we name the lies that keep us stuck—“try harder,” “earn your way back,” “God’s done with you”—with a better word: Jesus already took Achan’s judgment, so confession becomes a homecoming, not a trial. If you’ve felt your peace melt, if small compromises have grown loud, or if pride has pushed you into plans God never authored, this one invites you back to surrender. Fix your eyes on Jesus, not your effort. Remember who lives in your camp. And when you stumble, run, don’t shuffle, back to the presence that restores your soul.

    Follow the Promises: Keep Walking

    Send a text Ever stared down a problem so big it dares you to blink first? Joshua 6 opens with a fortified city and a God who simply says, “See.” We unpack why acknowledging the wall is not defeat—it’s the first act of faith. From there, the story reorders our instincts: promises before plans, presence before effort, and obedience before outcomes. The march around Jericho isn’t about clever strategy; it’s about learning courage, endurance, and humility under the sound of worship with the ark out front. We talk through what active faith looks like when the instructions don’t make sense, why silence can be spiritual strength, and how Ephesians 2:10 reframes your day as a set of prepared works you simply walk into. Rahab’s rescue moves from footnote to headline, showing grace that adopts outsiders and rewrites family lines. At the same time, we draw clear boundaries around what corrupts the heart, tracing Deuteronomy 18’s warnings about counterfeit spirituality and the self-obsession that always takes rather than gives. Discernment isn’t niche; it’s survival for the soul. When the walls fall, surprise gives way to memory: God keeps His word, down to Joshua’s prophecy about rebuilding Jericho fulfilled generations later. That track record fuels a practical way forward—walk in the Spirit with humility and faith, refuse to rebuild what God tore down, and learn to wait without panic. If you’re navigating addiction, anxiety, or an impossible decision, this conversation offers grounded steps to keep walking with your eyes on Jesus and your heart anchored in His finished work. If this helped you refocus on God’s promises, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review with the “wall” you’re trusting Him to bring down next. Support the show

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

    Send 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 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 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.
