Joshua 10 reminds us that obedience doesn’t end when the agreement is made—it’s proven when pressure comes. After Israel’s covenant with the Gibeonites in Joshua 9, Joshua is immediately pulled into a fight he didn’t initiate but is still responsible to finish.

In this episode of The Pursuit of Manliness, we look at what it means for men to follow through when commitment becomes costly. Joshua doesn’t hesitate, delay, or look for a way out. He shows up, fights hard, and trusts the Lord to do what only God can do—even to the point of the sun standing still.

This chapter challenges us to consider how our present faithfulness prepares us for future battles. Half-hearted obedience, delayed action, or unfinished work doesn’t just affect today—it weakens us for what’s coming next. God honors men who keep their word, stand firm under pressure, and move forward in confidence that the battle ultimately belongs to Him.
