Did you know God promises rest for his people?

Nancy DeMas-Walgamuth invites you into his true rest today.

It's not through our works, our effort, our striving, our righteousness.

We experience the rest that God intends for us in our Christian lives today by faith in Christ.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, co-author of Seeking Him.

In a busy world, rest is a valued commodity.

Vacation planners and drug companies promise to give you rest, but is it really something you can buy?

we're actually going to get to the book of Joshua, believe it or not.

But continuing in his life, I want us to take a look first at a passage in the New Testament,

an important passage that harkens back to this incident we've been talking about,

where the children of Israel were at Kadesh Barnea and sent the spies into the land,

and the spies came back, ten with a bad report, two with a good report.

The people went with fear rather than faith, and only the two who believed God, Joshua and Caleb, were allowed to go into the land.
