After the walls of Jericho fell, Israel expected another victory. Instead, Ai stopped them cold (Joshua 7). Why did God’s people stumble right after a miracle? In this week’s Preview, we trace the “enemy within” through the story of Achan—how violating the ḥerem (devoted things) brought corporate consequences, and what that means for personal integrity, leadership, and the health of the whole church family today.

Behind the Battlefield: Setting the Stage for God’s Holy War (Supplemental Episode)

Before we read Joshua 10–11, we build the right lens: a cosmic conflict where God confronts evil with justice, patience, and hope. This episode lays the ethical foundations—why judgment was delayed, what the Canaanite crisis was, and how ḥerem fits into holiness and mercy.

What you’ll learn

• Cosmic Conflict Framework: Why Old Testament battles must be read inside the larger war against sin.
• Sovereignty & Justice: God judges all nations impartially yet patiently (Genesis 15:16).
• When Wickedness Ripens: Entrenched idolatry, sexual exploitation, witchcraft, and child sacrifice demanded action.
• Understanding ḥerem: Irrevocable dedication/banning aimed at cleansing the land and establishing a new moral order.
• Toward Peace: God’s justice ultimately bends history toward wholeness, not endless violence.

From Swords to Plowshares: Finding the Prince of Peace in the Book of Joshua (Bonus Episode)

How do the battle scenes of Joshua square with the Bible’s promise of peace? This episode tackles the dilemma head-on and traces the storyline toward the Messiah’s way of victory—self-giving love.

What you’ll explore

• The Apparent Contradiction: Joshua 10:40 vs. Isaiah 9:6 / Micah 4:3, and why the conflict is ultimately cosmic and moral.
• Divine Intent Beyond Annihilation: God’s patience (Genesis 15:16), real refuge for outsiders (Rahab, the Gibeonites), and gradual dispossession (Exodus 23:28–30).
• Victory through Sacrifice: How the cross reframes “conquest” and aims at everlasting peace, not perpetual domination.
• Agents of Peace Today: Elisha’s mercy to enemy soldiers (2 Kings 6:16–23) and how radical, self-sacrificial love wins spiritual battles now.

Holy War & Holy Love: Unpacking Joshua’s Fiercest Battles (Joshua 10–11)

Joshua records some of Scripture’s most challenging scenes. How can God be both the righteous Judge and the Giver of peace? In this main episode we explore the justice–mercy tension through the story’s own categories.

What you’ll learn

• God fights for His people (Joshua 10:42) — trusting divine power over human strength.
• Why judgment was postponed — the “cup of iniquity” and God’s long patience (Genesis 15:16).
• What ḥerem means — more than destruction; holiness, boundaries, and the danger of idolatry.
• Justice without partiality — the Judge of all the earth holds Israel accountable too (Joshua 7).
• Limits on warfare — the offer of peace and the role of free choice (Deuteronomy 20:10–18).
• Hope beyond conflict — the promised reign of the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6; Micah 4:3).
