The Rev. John Shank, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Edwardsville, IL, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Joshua 2.

Joshua sends two spies to secretly scout the city of Jericho. These spies find refuge in the home of Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute. Rahab's courageous decision to hide the Israelite spies and her declaration of faith in the God of Israel shine as key elements of this chapter. Her plea for protection and her willingness to cooperate with the spies results in an alliance between her and the Israelites.

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.
