We continue our study of the themes of books of the Bible with Joshua on this week's episode of One Single Story podcast. Numbers is all about "Victory & Conquest."

Pastors Stephen Mizell, Alyssa Bream and Jay Rivenbark look at the theological and practical applications of Joshua, focusing on chapters 7 and 8. In this section, we see the sin of Achan bring death to his whole family and victory in Ai after a failure.

• Why is the sin of a person held against all people?
• How do we reconcile God's calling for violence with the message of "turn the other cheek" by Jesus?
• How much of repentance is action?
• Why would Jericho's spoils be off limits and Ai's be acceptable?
• Why are some given second chances and some not throughout the Bible?
• The instructions of God involved destroying/eliminating some things and dedicating/giving some things. Which is more challenging?
• Why was it important for God's word to be read publicly by the Leader?
