What does it mean to put your **feet in the water before the miracle happens**? In this sermon from **Joshua 3–5**, we explore one of the clearest biblical pictures of **faith in action**. Israel stood before the Jordan River at flood stage with no bridge, no human solution, and no visible path forward. Yet God did not part the waters before they moved—He called them to step first. The priests carrying the ark had to enter the river before the miracle came.

This message unpacks the powerful connection between **Joshua 3:1–17**, **Joshua 4:1–9**, and **Joshua 5:13–15**, showing how God builds courage, obedience, and trust when His people step forward before they see the outcome. From the crossing of the Jordan River, to the memorial stones at Gilgal, to Joshua’s encounter with the Commander of the Lord’s army, this sermon reveals that the greatest reward of faith is not only that the obstacle moves—but that we meet God on holy ground.

If you have been waiting for certainty before obeying, this sermon will challenge you to stop standing on the bank and start walking in faith. The waters may not part until your feet touch the edge.

**Scripture:** Joshua 3:1–17, Joshua 4:1–9, Joshua 5:13–15

Rahab was the last person anyone would have expected God to use—but that is exactly how grace works.

In Joshua 2, Rahab heard what God had done and responded with faith while everyone else hid behind walls. She hung the scarlet cord before the victory came, trusting God’s promise before she could see the outcome. Her story reminds us that faith is not just believing something is true—it is acting on God’s Word before the walls fall.

This message explores Rahab’s faith, the scarlet cord, and how her story points us to Jesus Christ—the true source of mercy, rescue, and salvation.

Scripture: Joshua 2:1–21 | Hebrews 11:31 | Matthew 1:5

Where is your scarlet cord? What step of obedience is God asking you to take before you see the result?

In Part 1 of this 3-part Joshua series, we look at Joshua 1:2-9 and Joshua 5:13-15 and see that courage is never built on our own strength — it is built on the presence of God.

Joshua steps into leadership after the death of Moses, facing grief, uncertainty, and a mission bigger than himself. Then outside Jericho, he meets the Commander of the Lord’s army and learns that God was not absent from the journey. He was there the whole time.

This episode is for anyone walking through transition, pressure, fear, or the weight of what comes next.

What if the reason you’ve resisted faith isn’t rebellion—but misunderstanding?

In this opening episode of Acts — A Man Learning to Walk With God, Jonathan shares honestly why he had no faith foundation, why he resisted Christianity, and how negative experiences with hypocrisy, performance, and weak messaging pushed him away from church.

This isn’t a sermon.
It’s a man learning out loud.

Each episode follows a simple rhythm called Council & Crucible:

• Council — slowing down to sit with Scripture and understand it together

• Crucible — one small, lived act of obedience for the week

Anchored in Acts 1:8, this episode reframes faith as power before progress—not self-fixing, not pretending, but walking with God one step at a time.

If you’re new to faith, unsure what you believe, or tired of performance Christianity, you’re welcome here.

Crucible for Week 1:
Ask God for strength each day. Nothing more.

Honorbound Brotherhood.
Protect. Provide. Lead. Stand watch.

Why I Rejected Christianity (and What I Got Wrong)

For years, I didn’t want anything to do with Christianity—not because I hated Jesus, but because of what I saw in people who claimed Him. Angry “born again” guys, hypocrisy that looked holy on Sunday and wicked the rest of the week, and a message aimed at men that felt like: sit down, shut up, be a good boy, and maybe you’ll get into heaven.

That version of faith pushed me away.

In this episode, I talk honestly about the experiences that made me reject Christianity—and what I’ve come to learn about the difference between counterfeit religion and real Christ. Biblical masculinity isn’t passive. It isn’t cowardice. It’s strength under control, obedience to God, and love that stands firm.

Scriptures referenced:

• Matthew 7:16 — “You will recognize them by their fruits.”

• James 1:19–20 — “The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”

• 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 — “Act like men… be strong… done in love.”

If you’re on the fence, if you’ve been burned by church culture, or you’ve wondered if there’s something real behind the noise—this one’s for you.
