  • 404: You Be You
    Jan 12 2026
    Hello, my friend! Welcome back to The Encouraging Word Podcast. So much of the story of Joshua and Israelites is about getting to the Promised Land. But it doesn't end there – they are told to possess the land, to move in, to find their place and fulfill their assignment. And Jesus offers those same instructions to us today.

  • 403: Pray Audacious Prayers
    Jan 5 2026

    Hi, friend. Happy New Year!

    If you’re resolving to pray more this year — and shouldn’t we all? — this episode is for you.

    There is a remarkable story in Joshua chapter 10. While in battle, the Hebrews needed more daylight. Joshua asks God to stop the sun from setting, and God does. Verse 14 says, “God took orders from a human voice.” How’s that for a reminder that God listens to our prayers?

  • 401: The Danger of Disbelief
    Dec 15 2025

    Hello, friend. Thank you for joining me for another Encouraging Word.

    What does trust have to do with greed? According to Joshua chapter 7, quite a lot. This passage reminds us that looking for security in anything or anyone other than God will always let us down.

  • 400: Walking Circles Around Jericho
    Dec 8 2025

    Today’s episode brings us to a familiar story in the Bible. Maybe you’ve sung the old song about Joshua fighting the battle of Jericho. But this story is about more than the Hebrews defeating the Canaanites. This is a story about fighting from a place of victory to defeat the strongholds in your life.

    Dec 1 2025

    You know what it's like to face difficulty. You have before and you will again. You may be, right now, facing a challenge so great that a solution feels impossible. If that sounds familiar, I encourage you to follow the example of Joshua — before you go into battle, call on your Commander.
