Summary

Moses could get Israel to the Promised Land, but he couldn't get them in. To cross the Jordan, Israel needed a new leader with a familiar name: Joshua. Discover why the transition from the Law to Grace is the only way to claim your divine inheritance. Summary: In this episode, we study the Book of Joshua. We move beyond the battles and the trumpets to find the deep spiritual transformation required to stop wandering and start inheriting. Filling the Shoes of a Giant: We analyze the transition from Moses to Joshua—and from Peter to Jesus—exploring how God stays with the successor just as He was with the predecessor. Crossing the Jordan: We look at the "dry ground" miracle at the Jordan River and how the priests had to step into the water before it parted. Strange Strategies: We discuss the "foolish" tactics used at Jericho. Why does God ask us to do small and simple things—like family prayer or scripture study—that seem unrelated to the "walls" we are trying to bring down? The Valley of Achor: We look at the cautionary tale of Achan and how "one man's sin" can affect an entire community, and how God turns our "valleys of trouble" into "doors of hope." Choose You This Day: We conclude with Joshua’s final plea at Shechem. We learn that our obedience lasts only as long as our memory, and why we must choose—every single day—whom we will serve. Call-to-Action: Joshua told the people that the stones of the altar had "heard" their promises. What "witnesses" have you set up in your life to remind you of your covenants?

Hello, my friends. Jared Halverson here. Welcome back to Unshaken. I've been battling a cold all week,

0:42.5

and so please bear with my voice. I'm just hoping to make it through today. I've been postponing

0:47.2

filming day after day after day in hopes of feeling better. And by now, if I don't film, I don't know

0:52.6

if we'll ever make it into the promised land.

0:55.4

And so it's go time.

1:01.5

I'll try to channel my inner Boyd K. Packer and Spencer W. Kimball in hopes that a little gravelly, raspy sound will add to the gravitas of the book of Joshua.

1:06.3

Not that it needs our help.

1:07.3

This is an incredible book of scripture.

1:09.5

Maybe this is just the Lord's sense of humor shining through that as I've been preparing this week to teach the Battle of Jericho,

1:16.4

I've been blowing my nose so many times that it's really gotten me in the spirit because it's

1:21.3

felt like seven days of blowing trumpets. So I'll try to keep some of that to myself, but the stories that we're going to be

studying today, some of them famous, like Jericho, like the crossing of the Jordan River, some

1:33.7

less known, like the story of Akhan or the Ghibeonites. There's some amazing things in the

1:39.7

Book of Joshua, and I look forward to discussing them with you today. It actually also

marks an incredible

transition for all of us. We have finished the five books of Moses. Congratulations to you all,
