You'll enjoy this blog post: "Faith for the Forgetful"

"We all forget things—where we put our keys, why we walked into a room, or even that one important anniversary (not saying who, but you know who you are!). But here’s the good news—God already knows we’re forgetful, and He’s built reminders into His Word to anchor us in truth. That’s why He tells His people, over and over again: Don’t forget to remember!"

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Joshua 1:1-5:1, where we see God setting up His people for success—not worldly success, but the kind rooted in trust and obedience. We’ll unpack how right theology shapes our courage, why obedience isn’t just personal but communal, and what Rahab’s faith can teach us about stepping out in trust before we see results. And we’ll ask the big question: Are we setting up spiritual reminders in our own lives to remember God’s faithfulness?

💡 Key Thought: "Courage isn’t about self-confidence; it’s about God-confidence. So if you struggle with self-confidence—good news! You’re already halfway there."

So grab your Bible, take a deep breath, and let’s remember together. God is faithful, and He’s leading us forward. Are we paying attention?

• Joshua 1:9 – “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
• Joshua 4:6-7 – “What do these stones mean to you?”
• Hebrews 4:8 – “If Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.”
