The Rev. Ryan Kleimola, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Toledo, OH, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Joshua 14.

We now encounter the inspirational account of Caleb, a man of unwavering faith who, at the age of 85, fueled by his resolute determination and trust in God's promises, boldly requests the mountainous region of Hebron as his inheritance. Caleb was among the twelve spies who initially scouted the land of Canaan, and his faith remained unshaken despite the daunting challenges and giants they had encountered. Among other things this account serves as a lesson for us about perseverance in pursuit of God’s promises.

The Book of Joshua is a compelling account of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua. It narrates their journey from the crossing of the Jordan River to the triumphant capture of the Promised Land. Filled with military campaigns, divine guidance, and moments of faith and obedience, this book underscores the fulfillment of God's promises and the importance of unwavering commitment to their divine mission. It stands as a powerful testament to the faith, resilience, and unity of the Israelites as they claim the inheritance promised to them by God.
