In week two of No Retreat, Cutting Before Conquest, we look at the moment in Joshua when God calls Israel to pause before moving forward. Before the conquest of the Promised Land, the people were required to renew their covenant and set themselves apart, removing the “Egypt” that still lingered within them.

This message reveals that God is often more concerned with what He’s doing in us than what He’s giving to us. Pastor Jon connects this moment to the spiritual circumcision Jesus performs in our hearts today, calling us to surrender what no longer belongs so we can fully walk in the promises God has prepared.
