Do you feel surrounded by the enemy? Are the odds stacked against you? Does today seem impossible? And tomorrow something you just don’t want to face if God doesn’t show up? There is hope found in Joshua 11 as God’s people experience one of the biggest battles they will face. Find out how God works in redemptive circles in their story and yours.

One of the biggest lies we can easily believe is that we are already defeated before we are obedient in our calling. In this episode, we will explore the second half of Joshua 10, discuss finding Jesus in your story and how His resurrected life makes you more than a conqueror in your promised land.

In Joshua 10, God made the sun and moon stand still. It was an answer to Joshua’s prayer and a miracle almost too big to comprehend. In this episode, we discuss how time itself can be a battle in our promised land and how time can change our prayers. If you feel like you don’t have enough time to spend with God, be about what He’s asked of you, or that life is just too busy, this episode Is for you.

Do you rely on your logic and circumstances to make your decisions or do you pray for God’s insight? Joshua 9 teaches us that our reliance upon logic can really be a mask for fear and pride, how to remember what God has already said and how to rely on God’s direction no matter how opposite it feels to what we think.

Are you feeling frustrated in the middle of your calling, even though you’re living in your promised land? Listen as I confess what I’ve been struggling with in the middle and how Joshua 8 can help if you feel the same way.

You will face battles you didn’t anticipate. Your calling will look different lived out than you expected, too. The private or public battles you face in real life, the hard decision you must make and knowing how to lead when things don’t go like you thought they would, these are all part of living in your promised land with Jesus. This episode is focused on Joshua 7, where you can learn how to overcome three common emotional and spiritual battles most of us face. Listen if you’ve ever thought: - I was better off before I followed God to this new place. - Did God really say? - How can I be content with what God has asked of me & still be in expectant hope with his timeline?

If you feel overwhelmed by your wilderness season or are on the verge of entering into your calling with God but are overcome with fear. this episode is for you. Joshua is on the cusp of his promised land, 42 years after the exodus out of Egypt. He's learned a lot about the lies and the truth of God's promises. We will imagine hearing from Joshua's Instagram feed, looking back over the lies of complaining and the impact it has on us and those we serve. Joshua reminds us... "When God offers you the blessing you've prayed for, hoped for, and followed Him for, please take it! Trust Him more than your fear. Remember your wilderness was for this moment. Even if your promised land doesn't look like you thought and the enemy is present, please say 'Yes!' to what God is trying to give you.   I mention episode 8 from Season 1 for a more in-depth discussion on complaining and how to help you break this habit:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jesus-led-adventure-with-stephanie-bryant-klrc/id1447565297?i=1000451264188

  Maybe you’re like me and you’ve really messed up this week. You think your sin or your past are too much for Jesus to lead you into His promises. Maybe you think this sin could remove God’s love from your life.

You might feel a rush of anxiety in what God is asking you to do. You may feel like you lack the courage to take the next step.

For LOVE is is what God is really calling you to do - love Him and others through your calling. Brave isn’t who you are but it’s how God chooses to reveal Himself to the world. This episode will empower you with the truth that creates courage, you’ll understand the purpose of brave and you’ll be able to take your next step in strength. God is not calling you to be strong and courageous for the sake of being brave. God is calling you to your promised land to dwell with him.

The cloud you feel like is hanging over you . . .it may be confusion on your part but it also could be the very presence of God.
