Episode 2.85
In this episode, Michael and Zach conclude the book of Joshua by walking through chapters 22–24, where Israel’s response to God’s finished work takes center stage. After crossing, conquering, and dividing the land, the final question remains: How will God’s people live in the rest He has given them?
Joshua 22 addresses a potential civil war sparked by an altar built by the eastern tribes. What appears to be apostasy turns out to be a misunderstanding rooted in a shared concern for covenant faithfulness. The tension reveals a crucial principle: unity without holiness is dangerous, but holiness without unity fractures the people of God.
Joshua 23 records Joshua’s final address to Israel’s leaders. He calls them to courageous obedience, grounding his exhortation in both grace and warning. The same God who grants victory will also judge covenant unfaithfulness. The promises are sure—but they cut both ways.
Joshua 24 closes at Shechem with covenant renewal. Joshua rehearses Israel’s history—from Abraham to Jericho—reminding them that their inheritance was entirely a gift of grace. Then comes the decisive call: “Choose this day whom you will serve.” Yet Joshua also warns that serving a holy God is not casual or automatic. The chapter’s repeated emphasis on “serve” presses the issue of loyalty, not sentiment.
The book ends not with conquest, but with commitment. Rest in the land demands covenant faithfulness. God has kept every promise—now Israel must decide how they will live.

How do you find your purpose in life? My child will hardly speak to me. What can I do? She gets so angry with me! My daughter grew up and married a Muslim man. What would God have me do?
In this message, The Missing Peace, Tim Ross takes us to Mark 4, where Jesus and the disciples are caught in a violent storm, and raises the question we all whisper in chaotic seasons: “Jesus, don’t You care?” While the wind roars and Jesus rests, we learn that peace is not the absence of chaos; it's the courage to trust the One who is peace and the refusal to participate in the panic around you. Tim unpacks how the peace Jesus promised and left with us was designed to steady hearts, regulate minds, and anchor souls in every season. When the Holy Spirit governs your inner world, chaos loses its authority, fear loses its volume, and you become the calm in rooms that once overwhelmed you.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contact

Unity among believers was one of Jesus’ final prayer requests before He was crucified. Dr. Tony Evans explains how we can see that prayer answered in our lifetime and why real unity is rooted in worship that goes deeper than culture—worship in spirit and truth.
